Old Dallas Mountain Farms - Nigerian Dwarf Goats

It's Wednesday and that can mean only one thing - it's time for a random goat fact and a completely useless piece of trivia absolutely no one asked for. It's -

🐐 GOAT GOLD & WEIRDNESS WEDNESDAY! 🌟

GOAT GOLD:
Goat kids learn faster by watching adult goats.
They observe experienced members of the herd to figure out where to go, what to eat, and (most importantly) how to get into trouble more efficiently.
So when that tiny doeling magically opens the gate…
She had a mentor. 🧠🔓

WEIRDNESS:
A man once tried to rob a bank using… an avocado. 🥑💰
In 2019, a man in Israel handed a teller a threatening note and waved around a dark object in a black bag, claiming it was a grenade.
It was an avocado.
He did it again at a second bank.
Still avocado.

Bad Intentions and All Knight Long, caught mid-serenade with the wind in their hair and that classic “we’re sensitive but mysterious” boy band energy.

🐐 GOAT GOLD & WEIRDNESS WEDNESDAY! 🌟
(Yes, it’s Wednesday already. We checked. Twice.)

GOAT GOLD:
Goats can multitask while chewing.
Thanks to their split upper lips, they sort through hay mid-bite, picking out only the finest strands like little four-legged connoisseurs.
Their snack game? Selective. Sophisticated. Ruthless. 🍃🎯

WEIRDNESS:
Octopuses are escape artists.
One famous octopus slipped out of its tank, crept across the aquarium floor, and disappeared down a drainpipe to the ocean.
Apparently, walls are a suggestion when you have eight arms and a plan. 🐙🛞💦

Superlative: Most Likely to Pretend She Didn’t See the Camera… but Totally Did.

🐐 Sunday Snuggles at Old Dallas Mountain Farms!
Please help us welcome our brand new herd members: Holly, Honey, and Hope — born Friday and already stealing hearts. 💖

Tonya couldn’t resist staging a cozy little basket moment (can you blame her?), and while two of them were happy to snuggle… Holly had opinions. 😤📣

From left to right in this photo: Holly (vocal), Honey (sweet as her name), and Hope (already dreaming big). Welcome to the farm, little ones! 💕

☀️ It’s Wednesday here on the farm, and Bella is soaking it in like the glamorous caprine queen she is. That means it’s time for another…

🐐 GOAT GOLD & WEIRDNESS WEDNESDAY! (with bonus goat horoscope!) 🌟

GOAT GOLD:
Goats sneeze to express emotion.
When they get excited—or just plain annoyed—they’ll sometimes let out little sneezes like, “Excuse you, I have thoughts.”
It’s not a tickle in the nose. It’s pure, unfiltered goat attitude. 😤🐐

WEIRDNESS:
Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins.
By slowing their heart rate, a sloth can chill underwater for up to 40 minutes, while dolphins top out around 10.
Turns out slow and steady doesn’t just win the race—it dominates the pool. 🦥🌊

Pictured: Bella, sunbathing like she owns the farm (she does). If you’re not sneezing in judgment or holding your breath dramatically, are you even living the goat life? ☀️👑🐐

🪐 BONUS: Goat Horoscope of the Week
Capri-corny Forecast:
You sense opportunity… or is that just the sound of the feed bin opening? This week, trust your hooves. Leap without warning. Startle the chickens. A mysterious wind brings change—or hay. Either way, it’s probably worth chewing on.
💫 Lucky item: whatever the other goat has.

📸 Pictured: Bella, the cutest goat we have. She’s majestic, mysterious, and mildly judging your sunbathing technique. ☀️🐐💖

It's Wednesday again, which means it’s time for that perfect midweek blend of farm facts and bizarre truths you didn’t ask for but now can’t unlearn: Goat Gold & Weirdness Wednesday! 🐐🌀

GOAT GOLD:
Goats can understand human pointing.
In scientific studies, they consistently followed a person’s gesture to find hidden treats—just like dogs do.
So the next time you point and shout “It’s right there!”… and they still ignore you?
That’s not confusion. That’s ✨choice✨. 👉🐐

WEIRDNESS:
In 2022, a man in China visited the doctor because he kept hearing a strange rustling in his ear. Turns out? A spider had spun a web inside his ear canal. 🕷️🕸️👂
It was living there. The spider was safely removed and everyone (including the man) lived to tell the tale. Lesson? If something’s crawling in your ear, you’re not being dramatic. Probably.

Pictured: Bad Intentions (aka Baddie)
Caught mid-laugh and looking like he just ignored your pointing on purpose.
He knows exactly where the treat is.
He’s just choosing ✨chaos✨. 😈🐐
