GOAT goat

November 3, 2020 11:12 AM

I know I am far from the first person to have noticed the goat (the animal)/GOAT (the acronym for Greatest Of All Time) pun. I would be shocked if no one has yet put together a web site (or tumblr, or twitter feed, or whatever) ranking goats to find the GOAT goat. But when I try to do an internet search for such a site, I just get sportsball results. Help me find the GOAT goat rankings with many photos of marvelous contender goats that I seek?

Wouldn't that technically be GGOAT?

Most state fairs will have a winner for various goat categories each year. So if you want to start looking at great goats, you can find them by searching /[state] fair winner goat [year]/

Most states don't have good galleries of past winners, but breeders like to brag. So eg here's a bunch of prize-winning goats to prime your pump.

Honestly GOAT goat seems like a great MeFi Projects thing, I bet there's plenty of interest and web scraping talent, both manual and automated.

Kevin Horan is an artist that specializes in ungulates, and he has some really beautiful goats in his portfolio.

Best answer: /r/goats sorted by all time top is one listings of GGOATs. The subreddit's sidebar (possibly not apparent on a mobile browser) has some other goat-related subredddits, if it behooves you.
