Goats and goat stories regularly appear in TV and media, some of them crazy, some of them amusing. Everything from goats surf board riding to goat causing or being involved in road accidents and a lot more  goat stories as well, some of it quite weird and some very bizarre. In the United States a howling goat is being used in a Sprint cell phone commercial and has become a big star. Goats are often ill treated and this site supports humane animal keeping practices, so look after your goats. The goat breeding industry covers most countries and being a major food source is well traded and sold almost every where on our planet. Where possible I try to share these interesting and sometimes tragic goat stories or useful information for goat farmers and goat breeders. Please use this goat Blog page for advising readers or goat breeders and keepers of any upcoming goat shows or show results, or some useful advice on nutrition or husbandry.

I would invited anyone to submit well written articles on shows or other goat subjects. Any submission however for goat sales or advertising will be deleted and the submitter will be banned.

The range of goat subjects is very diverse as any reading some of the submitted goat stories so far swill how. Also we welcome your goat images for submissions and invite you to add them with every story submission. The Boer Goat Blog has the latest and most useful Goat Information
