#5 Were the goats all males? If not, then how come they didn't have full burqa's?

#6 Not much different from county and state fairs here where we have the most beautiful pig, cow, steer, bull, sheep, etc.

#7 It's that time of year again? As Deacon Blues points out, there are many different ways to appreciate beauty.

#8 They definitely have different standards of beauty, though. I looked at the pictures, and the Damascene breed is to my eye the ugliest I've ever seen, although the samples clearly conformed to type.

#9 The Damascene goats are not goats, they're mutants of some sort, possibly due to radioactive leaks from nearby iranian nuke program. Last time I looked, goats didn't look THAT way! (But mutants can, hence my point).

DC, point well taken, but those goats are probably djinns in disguise or something. No way they can be actual critters.

#11 I do agree that if those are goats, they are butt-ugly goats.
