Meeeeh! Goats for hire for Zoom meetings?

Loading player...
Looking for something to shake up your work Zoom meetings? How about the assistance of a goat or two? Yes, this is a thing and a very lucrative one at that!

Raise your hand if you have been working from home for the better part of 2020 and now 2021.

Whether your work opts for Zoom or Microsoft Teams as a means to communicate and have meetings, it is safe to say that we are all just a little tired of having to join meetings online.

From 'please mute yourself' to 'please switch on your camera', online meetings can become monotonous and to be truthfully annoying. While the rest of us have been under lockdown, the goats of Cronkshaw Fold farm in Lancashire have never been busier!

Believe it or not, goats are a variety of animal breeds that people are booking to join their Zoom meetings.

In the US, Sweet Farm in California has animals including llamas available for video meetings!
