Goat Practices Parkour Moves at Park

Parkour is all the rage among goats. The non-competitive urban sport in which participants utilize their surroundings to perform vaults, leaps, swings, jumps and other moves to maintain momentum began catching in the goat community earlier this year.

One local goat was spotted this week practicing moves in the park.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said picnicker Zahira Turner. “That little goat was jumping from one rock to another, hopping over fences, climbing walls. It looked really fun.”

The key to successful Parkour is maintaining momentum while maximizing creativity and agility and remaining safe at all times, said Johannes Aarsbergen, an instructor of the sport from Copenhagen, Denmark.

“Goats, especially mountain goats, are naturals,” he said.

Baby Goats Start Roofing Company

Mikey and Chuck, two dairy goats from Colorado, have always been handy, and often did odd jobs for neighbors and friends.

“I told those kids that they’re too talented to be giving their work away for free,” says Ted Cousins, who lives down the road from the goats. “They should go into business.”

And so they did. Gruff Bros. Roofing and Gutters was officially incorporated in March, and the goats have been booked solid ever since.

“They replaced a few shingles for me, and word got around pretty fast that they do quality work,” says Chelsea Stonebridge, a satisfied customer. “Plus, they get paid in hay and sunflower seeds. It’s a great deal.”

Goat Way Too Smug For His Own Good

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to reports, a local goat is entirely too full of himself and really needs to be taken down a notch. Sources tell The Fluffington Post that Dale has been displaying signs of extreme smugness, even more than is typically expected from a goat. 

“His sense of self-satisfaction is off the charts,” says farm animal expert Bess Leary. “I’ve never seen a goat that’s just so above it all. He literally couldn’t care less.”
