Goat's Lie Down Interrupted by Grooming Session From Ducks and Geese

Storyful

A goat’s relaxation time was cut short at an Ohio farm when a group of ducks and geese began to groom him.

Footage posted to Facebook by Oberlin-based farmer Tammy Tunison shows one of her beloved goats Junior taking some time to chill out in a large rubber feed bucket.

But poor Junior’s alone time is soon interrupted as the ducks and geese approach him to pluck out any tasty morsels that may be hiding in his fur.

Tunison told Storyful that they were “looking for something to eat in is hair as if they were looking through the grass for bugs to eat.”

She said that Junior is “so patient” with the ducks and geese, until they begin to groom “under his tail near his butt”.

According to Tunison, this is a “no go zone” for him. “That’s when he lets them know he has had enough and swats them away with his head,” she said.

  • Even tech stocks like Nvidia need to take a break: Analyst

    The broader market has been in flux with the tech-heavy S&P 500 (^GSPC) down for the last trading week. Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East haven't been the sole detractor from 2024's market momentum. One of the leaders in the S&P is chip-making powerhouse Nvidia (NVDA) which is down 15% over the past month. Is the rally for Big Tech players over or just on a pause? F/m Investments President and Chief Investment Officer Alex Morris joins Market Domination to discuss the chip sector and Nvidia's recent dip in share price. Morris weighs in on the current market landscape and how Nvidia has performed recently: "It's surprising to see it today. There's no great catalyst for it. Nvidia didn't come out and say 'we're out of the game, AI is over.' But we have to remember Nvidia, Microsoft (MSFT), Big Tech names, they're momentum names and momentum names occasionally need to take a breather... The geopolitical events aren't the catalyst but they are a good opportunity for folks to reevaluate where their money is and sometimes you take your profits."
