Farm Rents Out Their Goats For Zoom Conference Calls At $6.80 Per 5 Minutes

by Stephanie

What's not to love about goats? I mean, they're cute, they literally jump for joy, and some of them make the funniest noises.

Well, brace yourselves, because you can now get a goat to join in on your Zoom meeting for just $6.80 per five minutes. And, nope, we're not joking!

The Cronkshaw Fold Farm in Rossendale, Lancashire, England, has recently started offering a "Goat On Zoom" service. The fun service means you can have a goat from the farm join in on your online call, and contribute all things goat.

During the pandemic, like most businesses, the farm experienced some financial woes. So, Dot McCarthy came up with the idea that they could charge people to have their adorable goats to join in on their Zoom calls.

Of course, the idea was a joke - at first. But the team at Cronkshaw Fold decided to put up a website and just see what happened.
