Let's be careful with those goats!!

Or "rogue goat has his way with older gentleman"

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/24768243/detail.html Sorry, but this would be funny if the man was younger....I still laugh when I tell about the mule that kicked me full-on with BOTH hind feet.

A full grown buck with a bad attitude is no joke...especially with horns. Think of a 250lb battering ram. I once saw a neighbor's buck take off a car door because he was in a bad mood. If the car door would not have been between them I shudder to think of how much damage he could have done to my neighbor in ONE hit...let alone getting hit repeatedly.

A guy told me how his older ram smashed it's way into the pen holding a younger ram and kept hitting it until it killed the younger animal.

I have to agree, this wouldn't be funny regardless of the age of the victim. Even a young person can be seriously injured and unable to fight back after even one hit. I hope the man recovers without complications.

Not funny at any age. Somehow me being kicked by horses, cattle and rammed by sheep and goats is not funny. But a good lesson of what not to do, when I have the grandkids out doing chores with me.

My brother is about to learn not to take a snooze with this guy's favorite meal balanced on his leg.
