And; quite possibly; gender neutral.

You wrote GOAT - the text says oxen.

OMG. More proof that I'm a biblically illiterate heathen. You'd better come burn me at the stake right now.

More proof that I'm a biblically illiterate heathen.

No; mere proof that you do NOT like to be corrected.

You asked this question: Was it Nebuchadnezzar who God turned into a virtual goat for a couple of years?

I supplied an answer.

No need for you to get all upset about accuracy; is there?

Only when it’s pedantic.

I’m truly sorry I replied the first time. You can stop stalking me now.

[Elsie]

Poor newbie.

Can’t tell stalking from an intelligent interchange of facts.

[Elsie]

I’m truly sorry I replied the first time.

I can see why...

What happens when Men Who Stare At Goats meet Men Who Stare As Goats?

"And then the biomedical charity the Wellcome Trust said, 'go on then,' and gave me a small arts award,"

SCHLONGED!

[Elsie]

SOMEone is gonna BLINK!

[KGeorge]

LOL If we could have a nickel for every time our critters say Aw geez. NOW, what are they up to? Doncha know they think we’re a little nuts? (Something tells me this fella’s taken the cake, though)

[Elsie]

Mine say, “Aw geez!” every time they realize they’re getting plain ol’ goat chow again instead of a leftover Thanksgiving/Christmas treat.

[KGeorge]

Awww poor babies. As long as you get it figured out what will and won’t mess up their stomachs, treats can’t hurt, imho. Course, my expertise- lol- is dogs, rather than goats. Our furkids eat better than we do.

[Elsie]

I have plastic CAUTION! tape around the trees I've found dead and need cut down.

They'll chew it off and I've not see any yellow pellets in their poop or any distress that it (probably should) cause.

[KGeorge]

Omigosh. I imagine it takes a whole buncha cuteness or delicious cheese or whatever to get past that. Have ya thought about hardware cloth? No idea if it would stop them, but doesn’t sound like the Caution tape bothers them much.
Little devils.

The Mrs and I were city folk.

We moved to this wonderfully overgrown 13 acres of overgrown shrubbery and trees about 10 years ago.

3 years ago, she wanted some pet ducks; but we got goats instead; knowing barely anything about them.

It’s been quite a trip!

I found out, the hard way, that they will gnaw the bark off of your apple trees quite quickly, and an electric fence will NOT slow them down after they find out the pain is temporary!
