@ Enzyme
A goat is judged to be fantastic if, in the case of a female (a doe, or more commonly, a nanny)...

a)She's friendly
b)She doesn't break wind while you're milking her
c)She produces a large quantity of creamy milk
d)She's a good mother
e)She eats well - goats, contrary to popular opinion are actually very picky eaters. No one wanting to keep their grass down should get a goat - goats eat up - hedges and trees, rather than sheep who eat down - grass. That said, a goat will browse a little on grass, but give them a fruit tree and they'll demolish it - branches and all...then turn it into high quality milk.

Fantastic animals.

And they'll eat a good deal of your kitchen waste too - but not anything with meat in it, onions are also poisonous to them (any of the allium family, so garlic is out too), as are raw potatoes.

@ Bert, I'm still looking, but while you're waiting have a photo of my cock instead...
