Need Awesome goat facts or sayings....

Someone procrastinated (me) and I have to make a table runner for a spring gala to help raise money for the 4-h program here in Elbert county CO. Sad to think but the county is so broke that there is no funding for 4-h.

Anyways I have to make a table rubber for the goat project, by tomorrow.....I need some cool sayings and facts about goats and I thought about all of you, my great ht friends! Can you help me out and give me some ideas? Thanks!

One of those fun facts was, goats can easily be housebroken, like a puppy. Is that true? Has anyone ever done that? Somehow I don't believe it. It would be cool though.

The word capricious, meaning led by whim or changing in attitude, comes from the word for goat, capra.

Awwww, they don't eat tin cans....jokes aside here's one.
There are no upper front teeth in the goat’s mouth, instead your goat has a tough toothless “dental pad”. Your goat does have teeth on the top and bottom of his jaw further back in his mouth. These back teeth help him to chew his cud...Topside
