Dreadful! What will we do without this information?

[SIDENET]

This sounds trivial, but wait until we get overrun with uncounted goats.

I think this is how ancient Rome was finally done in.

[KarlInOhio]

How many former bureaucrats are walking the streets of DC with "Will count goats for food" signs?

Also, will I still be able to get secret prerelease information on frozen concentrated orange juice production?

Just count the number of muslim men in the country and multiply by 3..........

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Well, we can start the count here.

We have four: Jake and Ellwood and Blanche and Rose.

We had three others Earl, Earl and Earl but, sadly, they are deceased.

FYI Goats are very fragile healthwise. Once they get bloat or a blocked urinary tract, there is really nothing anyone can do.

Hmm, this could have consequences for the computer industry in Texas:

Liberals say its too expensive to count people, so they want to estimate population, especially those areas high in illegals. To save money, they want to use statistics.

So, liberals out there... how about using statistics to count goats? Some of these goats might be illegals! (actually, I suppose its the ornithologists that REALLY want to count illegals).

I’ve come to realize that all these government departments, which sounded so good and logical in seventh grade civics, are merely a means of giving political supporters tax money; which in turn gets creamed back to the politician/party.

It’s easier to cut reports than to fire your Democrat friends and relatives.

[killermosquito]

If the govt. doesn’t know how many there are that is a good thing and might prevent the govt. from deciding that there are too many of something. The marketplace must decide how many of anything is needed and the marketplace must also decide the value.

Trust the invisible hand. Goat counting comes from central planning which will destroy us.

For the goats to multiply, you must segregate them from muslim men.

I appreciate double entendres...

Google is full of references to goat associations, which could pick up the ball and offer reporting on goats in the US. Same for most other livestock and crops.

The notion that if the government doesn't do it, then it can't be done, is silly, and with each passing day we are going to be dependent on the network of associations and charities to fill the gap when the tide of government spending recedes.

[King Moonracer]

So when they stop counting pigs will we lose track of the number of federal employees?

Goats are the oddest looking animals.

When I was in the ad biz, my partner was the art director. We decided to use goats in a poster series for one client.

After sketching one from memory, he dug up some photographs to check his work.

Like your goat, none looked anything like his sketch.
