Oh My Aching Head!

Testosterone.

Even the name sounds masculine.

It's a crazy hormone....

that makes males do crazy things.

If you have been reading my blog, you already know

that it is "dating" season amongst the fainting goats.

Breeding pairs are housed together for a few days.

After adequate "courting", we return the bucks and does

to their respective yards.

Each time a buck returns to his yard,

there is a day of "war"...

to once again establish the caprine hierarchy.

You'd think they would remember who is boss,

and just keep the status quo.

But no,

they have to go head to head 

and knock each other silly (and bloody)

until dominance is established.

The other day, these guys spent 8 solid hours

beating each other over the head

until battered and bloody.

I can only imagine the headaches they must have all had.

(Make sure your sound is up for the full "impact"!)

This film was brought to you by our sponsor....
 Testosterone!!

The funny thing is,

once all the fighting is finished,

they go back to being buddies again.

You'd think they would skip the violence and 

avoid the bloodshed.

After all, the end result is still the same.
