>> Huell: ARE THEY GOING TO BOUNCE?
>> OF COURSE >> Huell: SHOW EVERYBODY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE AVERAGE LOOKING AT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT GOATS.
>> Huell: GOATS?
>> YES.
>> Huell: WHAT'S THE DEAL ON GOATS.
>> THEY'RE THE OLDEST DOMESTICATED ANIMALS, THEY GIVE US MILK AND SKIMS AND EVERY IMAGINABLE PRODUCT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
>> Huell: REALLY, THEY GO BACK THAT FAR?
>> YES, WHEN WE EVEN LOOK IN BYIBLICAL SENSE, GOATS ARE MENTIONED A LOT OF TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
>> Huell: REALLY.
>> THEY'RE ANIMALS WE USE FOR OUR FRIENDS, COMPANIONS AND OUR FOOD.
>> Huell: WE'RE GOING IN THE GOAT PEN NOW.
WHAT DO YOU USE THE GOATS FOR?
>> MOST ARE DAIRY GOATS.
SO WE SHOW THEM IN DAIRY SHOWS AND WE MILK THEM AND SELL THEY'RE BABIES.
>> >> >> THIS IS GLITTER.
>> Huell: COME HERE GLITTER.
>> AND SHE'S HAD A MISCHIEVOUS STREAK.
EACH GOAT HAS THEIR OWN PERSONALITY.
AS WE MILK THEM WE LEARN THEIR THEIR PERSONALITIES.
SHE'S GOING TO HAVE HER BABIES IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
>> Huell: SO GOATS ARE SMART?
>> OH VERY.
THIS YOUNG LADIES RIGHT HERE IS MY SPECIAL FRIEND.
THESE THE REASON FOR HOOFS RANCH.
>> Huell: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
>> SHE WAS MY SON'S GOAT, SHE'S NOW TWELVE YEARS OLD.
THEY USUALLY LIVE FROM TEN TO FOURTEEN YEARS.
SHE HAS BEEN SHOWN IN SHOWS AND DECIDED SHE WAS TIRED OF THE DWSH >> Huell: LET'S SHOW THE FACE.
>> SHE DECIDED THAT SHE WAS DWG GOING TO COME HERE AND BE THE QUEEN.
AND THERE IS ALWAYS A QUEEN THAT DISCIPLINE OTHERS.
>> Huell: NOW THEY'RE SMART ENOUGH TO GO á COME HERE.
>> LOOK THEY'RE FRIENDLY.
>> THIS IS ROSY.
>> Huell: OH BOY, THEY LIKE TO BE RUBBED.
>> YES, EACH OF THE GOATS, WE TAKE THEM AND DRY THEM WHEN THEY'RE BORN, AND THEY GO IN THE HOUSE FOR 48 HOURS SO WE CAN DO HEALTH CHECKS AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING RIGHT.
ONCE THEY GO OUTSIDE AND WE BOTTLE FEED THEM.
THEY THINK MAYOR HAIRY HUMANS.
WE'VE GOT SEVERAL BREEDS.
THIS IS A NUBIAN A BREED DEVELOPED IN ENGLAND.
>> Huell: SO THIS IS AN ENGLISH GOAT.
>> YES AND SHE'S FROM SWITZERLAND.
>> Huell: UH-HUH.
>> AND OUR SPECIAL GIRLS WITHOUT EARS, ARE LAMANCHES.
>> Huell: OH THEY DON'T HAVE ANY EARS.
IS THAT THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO LOOK?
>> YES.
>> Huell: WHY DON'T THEY HAVE EARS.
>> AS AMERICANS WE KNOW WE HAVE A FUN SENSE OF HUMOR AND THIS IS THE ONLY AMERICAN BRED.
>> Huell: AND THEY WERE BRED NOT TO HAVE EARS?
>> YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THEY WERE BRED IN THE SOUTHWEST.
I HEARD A FEW THEORIES WHY THEY WERE BRED.
>> Huell: THEY'RE ALL ADORABLE.
DO PEOPLE HAVE PET GOATS?
>> YES, A LOST PEOPLE USE GOATS FOR PACKING, THEY USE THEM FOR CARDING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST HAVE A YARD GOAT, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO FRIENDLY AND SO LOVEABLE.
I DON'T KNOW ANOTHER ANIMAL THAT GIVES AS MUCH LOVE AS A GOAT.
>> Huell: ARE THEY CLEAN?
>> YES.
YOU KNOW WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT -- GOATS WILL EAT ANYTHING.
NO THEY WILL NOT.
IF THERE IS DUST ON THEIR FOOD, THEY LOOK AT YOU AND SAY, DO YOU REALLY WANT ME TO EAT THIS >> Huell: THEY REALLY GROW ON YOU, DON'T THEY?
>> THIS IS ANNIE, LITTLE MS. ANASTASIA.
SDP SHE LIKES CAR RIDES.
>> Huell: SO SHE RIDES WITH YOU INTO ROSEMOUNT?
>> YES.
>> Huell: WHAT'S HER NAME AGAIN?
>> ANASTASIA BUT WE CALL HER ANNIE.
THIS IS THE GOAT THAT WE WRITE CHILDREN STORIES ABOUT.
THIS IS TWINKER BELL'S SON.
AND HE'S DEFINITELY A PET GOAT.
>> Huell: NOW CAN YOU DO ANYTHING WITH THEIR HAIR?
>> SOME TYPES OF GOATS YOU CAN, BUT THIS TYPES, THE TYPES WE HAVE HERE ARE NOT HAIR GOATS.
SO NO WE DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH THEIR HAIR.
>> Huell: IS THERE ANYTHING AS A HOUSE GOAT?
>> I HEARD -- >> Huell: WOULD YOU HOUSE TRAIN A GOAT AND HAVE IT IN THE HOUSE.
>> I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY THEY HAVE DID -- BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS.
>> Huell: AHA.
I HATE TO SAY IT BUT A LOT OF TIMES WE'VE BEEN HANGING OUT THEY'VE BEEN GOING TO THE BATHROOM A LOT.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Huell: THAT PART OF BEING A GOAT TOO.
>> YES, BUT THEIR MANURE IS VERY AFFECTIVE AS A FERTILIZER THEY FERTILIZE THE FIELD AS THEY WALK THROUGH.
>> Huell: THESE ARE THE FIRST HORNS I'VE SEEN.
>> THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GOAT.
THIS IS A BORE GOAT AND HAVE BEEN IN AMERICA FOR ABOUT TWELVE YEARS.
AND RAISED PRIMARY AS A MEAT GOAT.
>> Huell: OH.
>> AND THIS IS HER DAUGHTER.
AND HER SON -- >> Huell: OH LOOK.
>> AND HER SON IS OVER BY THE FENCE AND SHE GETS TO NURSE HER KIDS.
>> Huell: THIS IS GREAT.
NOW CAN WE PICKUP THAT LITTLE GOAT.
>> OF COURSE.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT THIS LITTLE GOAT.
NOW THIS IS WHY YOU WANTED US TO WAIT.
>> YES.
>> Huell: SO WE CAN SEE SOME OF THE BABY GOATS.
>> THERE IS NOTHING MORE PRECIOUS THAN A BABY GOAT.
>> Huell: AND PULL BACK, THEY LIKE TO BE AROUND PEOPLE.
>> YES THEY DO.
IF THEY GET OUT OF THEIR PEN, ALL TOIF DO IS WALK TO THEIR PEN AND THEY ALL FOLLOW ME.
>> Huell: REALLY?
SO YOU'VE GOT TO GET ATTACHED TO THESE THINGS.
>> I'M VERY VERY ATTACHED TO THESE BABIES.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS LITTLE GOAT FACE, CAMERON.
YEAH, HAVE YOU NAMED IT?
>> THIS HAS NOT BEEN NAMED YET.
>> Huell: HOW OLD IS SHE?
>> ABOUT FOUR WEEKS.
>> Huell: THESE GOT THESE LITTLE HORNS BUT YOU CUT THEM OFF AT SOME POINT.
>> FOR THE REGISTER STRAIGHT WE LEAVE THEM ON.
AND IT'S FOR THE REGISTRY.
>> Huell: MOST HAVE THEIR HORNS OFF.
>> THIS GOAT IS EATING MY PANTS.
>> WELL GOATS THEY DON'T HAVE HANDS, IF I WAS GOING TO TOUCH YOU I WOULD TOUCH YOU WITH MY HANDS, THEY'RE LIPS ARE LIKE THEIR HANDS.
THEY LIKE TEXTURES THEY LIKE THE FEEL OF YOUR PANTS.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TOO EAT THEM JUST FEEL THEM.
>> Huell: JUST MOUTHING.
>> AND SHE LIKES THE WAY THE TEXTURE FEELS.
>> Huell: HAVE GOATS SMART?
>> WELL GOATS, WILL DEVELOP A MENTAL ABILITY ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO FOUR YEARS OLD.
SO MOST OF THEM STOP AT TWO, SO ALWAYS IN A A LITTLE BIT OF MISCHIEF ALWAYS INTO THINGS, PLAYING.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS LITTLE ONE.
SO THEY'RE LIKE LITTLE KIDS?
>> AND THEY'RE KIND OF INQUISITIVE.
>> THAT'S SOPHIE, SHE'S A SPECIAL GOAT.
A LADY FOUND HER IN THE KNAPSACK IN THE DESERT.
SO SHE ADOPTED US.
>> Huell: YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE CAMERA CAN PICK UP THE WHOLE WAY IT FEELS BUT IT FEELS GOOD OUT HERE WITH THEM.
>> YOU KNOW.
>> Huell: IT'S SO PEACEFUL.
THERE IS SUCH A POSITIVE ENERGY HERE.
>> WELL -- >> Huell: SHE'S EATING MY SHIRT.
>> WELL ANNIE IS TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, SHE THINKS SHE'S THE PRINCESS AND STAR.
OFTEN TIMES I'LL COME OUT AND WATCH THE SUNSET WITH THESE GIRLS.
AND BH -- IF I COULD BOTTLE THAT PEACEFUL FEELING I WOULD MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS YOU NEVER FEEL THE CALMNESS AND THE CONNECTION WITH THE EARTH THAT YOU FEEL AT THAT MOMENT.
>> Huell: I WONDER WHY THAT IS.
YOU DON'T HEAR THAT MUCH ABOUT GOATS.
>> NO, IN AMERICA GOATS HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A NEGATIVE IMAGE.
>> Huell: WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
>> I'M NOT SURE.
IN OTHER AREAS OF THE WORLD, GOATS YOUR PRIMARY LIVE STOCK ANIMAL.
>> Huell: AND PEOPLE EAT A LOST GOAT.
>> YES, THEY DO.
>> Huell: AND THE THOUGHT OF EATING SOME OF THESE LITTLE GOATS, I CAN'T IMAGINE.
>> I COULDN'T EITHER.
>> Huell: NO, NO.
>> NOW, -- >> Huell: I DIDN'T LOOK THEM IN THE EYE.
>> THESE ARE ALL GIRLS AND HAIR ALL PAMPERED LITTLE PRINCESSES BUT EATING GOAT IS A HEALTHIEST MEAT.
DRINKING GOAT MILK IS THE HEALTHIEST MILK.
>> Huell: WHY IS THAT?
LOOK AT THIS LITTLE -- OH ITS SCRATCHING LIKE A DOG.
>> YES.
>> Huell: IN FACT IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE -- WELL NOT REALLY LIKE A LITTLE DOG.
>> A LITTLE SPRINGER SPANIAL MAYBE.
>> Huell: YEAH, WHY IS GOAT MEAT SO GOOD FOR YOU?
>> THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FAT.
SO IF YOU'RE CONCERNED WITH COULDHOLESTEROL AND SO MANY OF NEED TO BE CONCERNED.
>> Huell: YEAH.
>> IT'S HEALTHY FOR US.
THE MILK IS HEALTHY, ADULTS WE CAN NOT DIGEST COW'S MILK.
YET YET THE GOATS MILK, IT'S A DIFFERENT SIZE AND WE'RE ABLE TO DIGEST IT.
>> Huell: I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE WALKING OVER HERE.
>> THAT'S THE REASON WE GOT GOATS.
I WAS TORN MY SON WOULD NOT MAKE IT AND IT'S GOAT'S MILK THAT KEPT MY BABY ALIVE.
>> Huell: PEOPLE DON'T DRINK GOAT'S MILK.
YOU CAN NOT BUY IT IN THE SFOER?
>> YES YOU CAN.
IT'S IN THE MILK DEPARTMENT AND USUALLY IT'S QUITE A BIT HIGHER PRICE THAN COW'S MILK.
BUT WE'VE GOT -- IN NEW YORK O THERE-- NORCO THERE IS A GOAT DAIRY.
>> Huell: OH SPRING ON THE FARM, YOU EVEN HAVE BABY CHICKS.
>> YES, MOM HIT WITH A CLINCH OF EGGS AND OUT POPS LIFE.
>> Huell: HOW DO THEY GET ALONG WITH THE GOATS?
>> THEY'RE FINE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE CHICKENS IN THE GOAT PENS AND THEY HELP KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAN.
>> Huell: LET'S GET DOWN TO THE SERIOUS THING HERE.
YOU MILK GOATS EVERY DAY?
>> YES.
>> Huell: AND BECAUSE IT'S 2:00 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON YOU HELD OFF WITH A COUPLE OF THE GOATS TILL WE GOT HERE.
>> RIGHT.
>> Huell: SO SHOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FILM THEM.
THEY'RE IN THIS PEN.
>> YES.
>> Huell: SHOULD WE GET THEM OUT?
>> SURE, JUSTINE.
BRING THEM OUT.
>> Huell: AND THOSE ARE THE GOATS GETTING READY TO BE MILKED.
>> THIS IS DIMPLES AND IN THE VANILLA COAT IS FAY.
>> Huell: LOOK THEY'RE RUNNING TO THE SHED TO BE MILKED.
>> THEY KNOW THEIR JOB.
>> Huell: AND ALSO PROBABLY FILL, READY TO BE MILKED.
>> THIS IS FAY AND JUSTINE IS MILK HER.
AND THE THEQUE IS LIKE A WATER BALLOON.
>> Huell: NOW HOW MUCH MILK ARE YOU GOING TO GET OUT OF A GOOD HEALTHY GOAT EVERY DAY?
>> ABOUT A GALLON.
>> Huell: AND THEY HAVE TO BE MILKED EVERY DAY.
>> TWICE A DAY EVERY TWELVE HOURS.
>> Huell: WOW.
NO MAN WONDER THEY WERE EXCITED COME IN HERE.
THEY WERE READY TO BURST.
>> THEY LOVE TO COME HERE IN THE MILK ROOM.
AND THAT'S THEIR CANDY.
>> Huell: SO THEY'RE EATING WHY YOU'RE MILK THEM.
THAT'S WHY THEY WANTED TO COME IN HERE.
>> YES, AND THEY HONESTLY LIKE TO BE IN HERE, THIS IS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR THEM.
AND THEY CAN CONSIDER IT A PRIVILEGE.
>> Huell: NOW SHE'S MILKING WITH ONE HAND BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO BLOCK THE CAMERA SHOT.
USUALLY SHE WOULD DO IT DOUBLE FISTED.
>> Huell: YOU WANT TO DO IT WITH BOTH HANDS JUST TO SHOW US.
WE'RE KIND OF CRAMPING HER STYLE.
>> A LITTLE BIT.
>> Huell: THERE SHE GOES.
>> SO THIS IS LIKE MILKING A COW.
>> Huell: YES >> EXCEPT GOATS WERE MADE FOR HUMAN TO GOAT, THEY'VE GOT TWO THEQUES AND CAUSE HAVE FOUR.
>> Huell: DO YOU WORK HERE?
>> NO, I'M A BABE THAT WALKED BY.
>> Huell: WHAT DO NEIGHBORS KNOW THINK ABOUT GOATS.
>> IT'S JUST THERE IS A LOT OF GOATS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTIMIDATED BUT ONCE YOU GET IN HERE AND REALIZE HOW WELL THEY'RE KEPT, IT'S FINE.
>> Huell: WHY ARE YOU STANDING HERE WITH THIS GOAT.
>> THIS GOAT BELONGS TO JUSTI NáE.
>> Huell: SO THIS BELONGS TO THE GIRL MILKING.
YOU WERE IN THERE MILKING THE GOAT.
IS THIS YOUR PET GOAT?
>> YES, HE IS.
>> Huell: WHAT'S THE DEAL.
>> WELL HE WAS ONE OF THE GOATS THAT CONNIE GOTTEN, HE'S A WEATHER.
>> Huell: A WHAT?
>> A WEATHER, A FIXED BOY.
AND THESE ARE USUALLY YOUR MEAT ANIMALS AND I WAS INTERESTED IN GOATS SO CONNIE GAVE HIM TO ME SO I CAN TRAIN HIM.
>> Huell: AND THAT WAS BEFORE NOW, HE'S BECOME INSEPARABLE WITH YOU.
>> YES.
>> Huell: HE FOLLOWS YOU AROUND.
>> THIS IS MY FAVORITE GOAT.
>> Huell: WOW.
CONNIE, COME OVER HERE, YOU TURNED ONE OF YOUR GOATS INTO HER PET GOAT?
>> NOT ONLY THAT, BOTH BONNIE AND JUSTINE IF JUSTINE IS IN THE HOUSE, BUDDY WILL CONVINCE HER TALKING -- LISTEN TO BUDDY WHEN SHE WALKS AWAY.
>> Huell: HE'S ALL STRESSED OUT.
>> THAT'S HIS TALKING, THE HUMMING SOUND AND HE'S CALLING JUSTINE.
>> Huell: REALLY, SO THEY'VE BECOMED THAT ATTACHED?
>> YES.
>> Huell: LOOK AT HIM.
>> AND HE LOVES JUSTINE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A YOUNG LADY BE ABLE TO TRAIN AN ANIMAL SO EASILY AS JUSTINE HAS DONE.
AND BUDDY LOVES HER SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE INSEPARABLE.
>> Huell: COME ON BACK, JUSTINE, DON'T PLAY WITH HIS AFFECTIONS ANY LONGER.
>> Huell: NOW WE'VE GOT ANOTHER STORY GOING ON, WE JUST FINISHED MILKING A GOE.
YOU'VE GOT SOME CHILLED MILK IN A WINE GLASS.
>> YES.
>> Huell: THIS IS CHILLED DOWN AND YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO DRINK IT COLD?
>> YES, IT'S THE BEST COLD AND WE TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE FREEZER THIS MORNING JUST FOR YOU.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS, THE GLASS HAS IMPRINTS OF GOATS ON IT.
SO THIS IS A GOAT MILK GLASS.
>> OF COURSE.
>> Huell: WHAT DOES THIS TASTE LIKE?
>> IT'S GOING TO BE SWEETER THAN COW'S MILK AND TASTE THE SAME.
>> Huell: IT HAS NO SMELL.
>> NO, ANY MILK HAS NO SMELL OR ODOR OR SHOULDN'T.
>> Huell: THIS IS A LITTLE SWEETER.
IT DOES HAVE A DIFFERENT TASTE.
>> YES, IT'S A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TASTE BUT I FIND IT VERY PLEASANT.
>> Huell: I THINK IF I PUT IT ON CEREAL I WOULD NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?
>> NO YOU WOULDN'T.
>> Huell: AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN PEOPLE ARE HESITANT WILL DRINKING THE MILK'S GOAT, I PUT IT IN A COW'S CARTON.
MOM'S HAVE TO BE TRICKY AT TIEMDS.
>> Huell: THIS IS PRETTY GOOD.
HAS SHE GOT YOU DRINKING GOAT'S MILK.
>> THE FIRST TIME I TRIED IT THEY HAD TO PUT IT IN A COW'S CARTON.
>> Huell: HOW ABOUT YOU?
>> I LOVE GOAT'S MILK.
I LOVE ALPINE.
>> EACH GOAT HAS A PERCENTAGE OF FAT IN THEIR MILK.
THE MIBLG YOU'RE DRINKING ARE FROM LONG-HAIRED GOATS, AL TIEN IS SLIGHTLY LEANER AND NOT QUITE AS FAT.
AND LAMANCHI IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU'RE DRINKING NOW.
>> Huell: THAT'S FINE, BUT I FINISHED IT.
>> YES, YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
>> Huell: VERY VERY GOOD.
NOW HERE'S THE REASON WE WAITED SO LONG TO FINALLY MAKE IT HERE.
YOU WANTED US TO SEE THE BABY GOATS.
>> YES, THERE IS NOTHING SWEETER THAN A BABY GOAT.
>> Huell: YOU FIX ME UP WITH A LITTLE MILK BOTTLE.
>> YOU HAD TO DRINK YOUR MILK NOW THEY GET SOME.
>> Huell: HOW ABOUT TOLDING IT LIKE THIS.
>> I'M AFRAID THEY'LL ALL BE FUSSING.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS.
WAIT A MINUTE I'LL GIVE YOU SOME.
THERE -- OOPS, OH [LAUGHTER].
OH MY GOSH, IS THERE A RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO DO IT >> NO, THEY ENJOY PLAYING WITH IT.
>> Huell: THEY'RE NOT REALLY SUCKING ON IT.
>> THEY HAD BREAKFAST THIS MORNING.
OKAY NOW HOLD THE BOTTLE UP.
>> Huell: UH-HUH.
OH MY GOSH, NOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER HORNS?
>> WHEN THE BABIES ARE TWO DAYS OLD WE REMOVE THEIR HORNS?
>> Huell: WHY IS THAT?
>> IT'S REQUIRED FOR THE AMERICAN DAIRY GOAT REGISTRY ASSOCIATION AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PRACTICAL REASONS.
WITH OUR FENCING, I WOULD NOT WANT MY GIRLS TO BE CAUGHT WITH THE FENCE WITH THE HEAT HERE, IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS FOR THEM.
AND -- >> Huell: OH.
>> AND GOATS ALSO USE THEIR HORNS AS TOOLS AND THEY CAN BE FUSSING AT EACH OTHER AND HURT EACH OTHER AND WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT.
>> Huell: NOW DO MALE AND FEMALE BOTH HAVE HORNS?
>> YES.
>> Huell: SO IT'S NOT JUST A MALE THING?
>> NO IT GOES WITH BOTH SECTIONSEXES.
>> Huell: LOOK THAT ONE.
THEY WERE GOING FOR THE BUTTONS ON THE SHIRT.
I JUST WANT TO GET RIGHT DOWN INTO THESE GOATS.
OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT THEM.
LOOK AT THEM.
OH MY GOSH, YEAH.
BOY, THEY DO JUST GROW ON YOU RIGHT AWAY, DON'T THEY?
>> THIS LITTLE GIRL WOULD PREFER TO BE CARRIED, THEY WANT TO BE AROUND HUMANS.
>> Huell: EVEN AT A YOUNG AGE LIKE THIS.
THIS ONE JUST LOVES TO JUMP LOOK AT HIM.
LOOK AT HIM.
THAT'S A HAPPY GOAT.
>> YES.
>> Huell: AND WHY NOT.
>> THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO BE HAPPY.
>> Huell: I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'VE EVER HAD THIS MUCH FUN.
THESE THINGS CAPTURE YOUR HEART.
>> THEY'VE CAPTURED MINE.
YOU CAN ALWAYS STAY WE CAN ALWAYS USE HELP.
>> Huell: I'M SERIOUS, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HAD THIS MUCH FUN.
>> WE ENJOYED YOUR BEING HERE AND YOUR VISIT AND YOU'RE WELCOME BACK ANYTIME.
>> Huell: I'LL BE BACK SOON.
>> OKAY, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
>> Huell: SEE, YOU JUST CAN'T LEAVE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.
>> LOOK AT THEM.
>> Huell: THEY'RE SO CUTE.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THEM WITH ALL OF US.
>> WELL THANK YOU FOR VISITING US.
>> Huell: I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE HAD AS MUCH FUN ON THIS GOAT ADVENTURE AS WE HAVE.
GOOD-BYE EVERYBODY.
LOOK, OH THERE HE GOES.
LOOK AT HIM.
OH!
HE DOES NOT STOP, DOES HE?
>> Huell: YOU SEE THEM, THE LITTLE ONE?
STICK WITH HIM.
HE'S GOING TO DO IT AGAIN.
LOOK AT HIM.
NOW IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A WATCH GOAT?
LOOK AT HIM, WE HAVE OUR OWN LITTLE ENTOURAGE HERE.
>> I'M NOT SURE IF THERE ARE A WATCH GOAT, BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING DISTURBING THEY'LL ALL CALL FOR ME AND ASK ME TO COME OUT.
>> Huell: THIS IS USUAL, ISN'T IT?
>> THIS IS THE NORM.
>> Huell: THEY ALL LIKE TO BE PART OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> RIGHT, AND I CAN TAKE THEM FOR WALKS INTO THE BACK ACREAGE AND THEY'LL WALK ALONG WITH ME AND STAY WITH ME.
>> Huell: REALLY?
WE'VE GOT OUR OWN LITTLE GOENT ENTOURAGE.
>> IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A PARADE TODAY.
>> Huell: YEAH, A GOAT PARADE.
