After she jumped off the roof and ran off camera for a minute, I swear she said “Fuck you”

I don’t recall the origin, but there’s an old line " Horse high, bull strong, hog tight – and still, the goat gets out"

If this had been me, I would not have posted video evidence of being outsmarted by a goat.

He must not know goats very well to think that would have held them. It basically looks like it was designed as a goat exercise facility.

you laugh, but goats are damn smart and, well… goat-headed. they will “get yer goat” in the end and make you the “butt” of their capricious barnyard kidding!

I’ve taken to spending a lot of my breaks at work watching the goats outside the office. They love the stairs and so far haven’t escaped, but I look forward to that day.

Yeah, I’m confused by the video because I can’t figure out why anyone was baffled as to how the goat was escaping, much less thought it was ever secure. There must be something that’s not obvious from that angle or something… because who keeps goats without knowing they’re kind of famous for climbing things - trees, buildings, walls…

We had a farm with goats. The barn they sheltered in had a second floor area with no ramp or such to get up, they just had to jump up three or four feet. Not a problem for them.

This is like level one for a goat escaping. This goat is going to go all the way past 11.
