Kneesles

If you look closely at all of our fainting goats...

you will notice that they all have bald patches....

or calluses on their knees.

This is something that is unique to them.

None of our other animals have this.

If you research calluses on goat knees on the internet,

you will come up with lots of scary articles about disease, foundering, etc.

Because our goats are in perfect health and extremely well cared-for,

I know that what I read must not always be the case!

In fact, if you watch our goats,

you will notice that they always lie with their front legs beneath them.

When they rise from a lying position,

they raise their hind ends first and climb up by way of their knees.

From this knee position, they make their way up to a full standing position.
(All of our other animals rise up from front to back instead.)

Hence.... callused knees...
maybe a "baaaaaaaad" case of "kneesles",

 but nothing to worry about.

Although it is a good source of plentiful information,

you cannot always rely on what you read on the internet!
