get ones have been getting a lot of attention. mtv wants to use this video on one of their shows. they re going to put it on their show called ridiculousness. we were contacted by the bbc for footage on their show, i believe, called world s weirdest animals. reporter: these goats may have imperfection but because of that, they have the good life. people want the fainting goats an they are treated like dogs and cats, and have a really good life. from lancaster county, steven fisher, abc news. strangest thing. strange, but cute. i want to see that. they are pretty, friendly, they make wonderful little lawn mowers. multipurpose there. and they also fertilize the lawn. hey, there you go. if you know what i mean. the farm is growing. they ve had 36 new babies born there, kits, born since february 15th. very cool. that s our news for this half hour. they have done a whole album in five minutes. it is great. let s give a listen.
