There are lots of GOOD reasons the rag heads want their women covered head to toe.

You say a goat bit Little Anthony’s Weiner? That has got to hurt, and to leave a bad taste in the goat’s mouth.

his effort to repeal a nearly 60-year-old federal subsidy for mohair. According to Weiner's office, the subsidy hit the books back in the 1950s, when the government was worried about manufacturing enough wool for military uniforms. Well, that worry has long subsided, yet the subsidy is still there paying out more than $20 million in the last decade, mostly to Angora goat farmers in Texas. Ummm, guys, this is GOOD that he is trying to repeal this....

I hve no idea why this makes me laugh? Goat could’ve have picked a better target. You know it is bad when a goat butts it instead of trying to eat it!
To: chris_bdba
OPPPSSS that should be “Goat couldn’t have picked a better target”
To: chris_bdba
Any headline that includes the words “goat,” “wiener,” and “bite” is guaranteed to get a snicker.

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. Goats are notorious for butting things with their heads but biting? Maybe but you’d have to be really dumb to get into that position....oh wait....we’re talking about a democrat.

Yes, a goat bit the wiener, but did the moose bite his sister?

Depends if there was cheese involved or not. :)

As Democrapic Party pols go, he is above the average. The goat horned him, but as beastly behavior back on the Democratic Party Farm goes, it could have been worse, far worse.
After all, he has not been accused of horning the goat.
BAAAH, Humbuggery!

Who ever wrote mohair goats is an idiot.
I raised Angora goats and they shear mohair....if they cannot even get the name of the animal right, the goat should have given them all a horn in the a$$. If they were under 1 year old, they are not aggressive at all...Only the males that mature to breeding age can be a handful and I'll bet no one in that crowd of dummy's would want to get within 100 feet of one of those......2 adult males can fight and kill one or the other....they don't screw around nipping someone on the hand or using their horns to attack a hand...Weiner is sure a big Weiner...as far as I know the mohair subsidy ended years ago and a lot of herders sold their animals cause they couldn't make a profit....I believe it was during the clinton admin. and they also dropped the subsidy on bee keepers...
The decline in bees for fertilizing many crops was the result of the loss of subsidy. Bee keeping is hard work and not worth the time with assistance....The hives were not protected from diseases and whole hives died out...
The orchards would hire the bee keeper to move all his hives to their orchards for fertilizing the blossoms...The extracting the honey from the hives is also labor intensive and how many people actually buy honey.....The grade and taste of the honey varied from orchard to orchard depending on what tree's were being fertilized...

Thats a couple of young doe's, not agressive and at that size I could take one down, clip his/her hoofs delouse and deworm them without hubbys help...he was needed for the large billys....our big one had horns that were 46 inches from point to point and to take him down was an art form due to the large horns his head could not be rested on the ground....hubby held them and I did the hoofs, and medications.....while straddling them and sitting on them....it was fun and your muscles got quite strong....Doe and neutered males horns went strainght back, a non neutered billy's horn when out the side and curled. I have a picture of our big one but don't know how to post pictures.....
If you waited to neuter them until the horns started there outword curl, they would continue to look like a non neutered male....
Love caring for my Angora's.......lots of work, lots of hay to put up for winter in Michigan, several thousand bales a season. Kidding season in March and you kept the mother and new baby together in a pen for 3 days and they learn there babies by sound and smell and will not nurse any baby not their own....

Well, I had the farm about 20 years ago and alfalfa was going for 3 dollars a bale. Hubby and I rented our neighbors fields and he helped us bale by driving his tractor, using his balers etc. Hubby and I rode the hay wagon...he only charged us one dollar a bale. as my vet said on one of his trips out, your stealing it from him...But the old man kind of adopted my hubby as his son, all he had was 2 adult daughters...Hubby use to spend a lot of time in his (hide out) a shed with a pot belly stove and a refrig. full of beer..The old man was hiding from his wife. they had been married for over 40years...he liked the outside, she liked the inside,
