There is something about having those two live goats on the sets that is unsettling to

me.  Gary Goban was afraid they would jump on him and I am sure the models would

not like it either.  Who cleans us their "waste matter"?  Seeing those live goats just turns me off and I don't even want to hear the presentation about the products. JMHO.

I've also wondered if the animals make messes on set.  I guess the Beekmans have people who take care of such things.

They are cute but I'm sure they poop all over the set. I doubt Beekman has anything to do with cleanup.

Someone working for Q gets stuck with the cleanup. If I worked for Q & they told me to clean the goat poop I would say I think not. I was not hired to clean up goat poop.

That's probably why there is only 2 goats. They had more goats when they were on Evine. Evine eventually did put something on the floors to keep up with the mess. 

I love Beekman soap & body butter but don't think the goats are necessary.

I passed on the TS since I have 25 bars of their soap. LOL!!!

Even though I haven't liked any of their products that I purchased, I just love those adorable goats and often watch for them only!  Why would anyone care about who cleans up their waste?  It's not like they are showing any waste from the goats up close!  They are always well behaved.  I would love to work with the goats!

Isn't Gary Goban the Denim & Co rep? Were the goats helping to sell the clothing?  Hopefully there are no kitchen or food shows today.

If you worked for Q would you like to be told to go clean up the goat poop???

Not right for anyone working at Q told to take care of it IMO.

The person hired for that job needs to know that's what they will be doing.

While the goats were cute, they are outside animals and belong in a barn or outside. Same with the dogs Chaz brings. Nice dogs but seriously? Leave them home or with a pet sitter.  We grew up with dogs, but the dog stayed outside in most weather, except for rain, snow or bitter cold. They had a nice dog house and when inside, stayed in the laundry room.No roaming the house or up on furniture.  They are animals...not people or children. Omg what next...

Farm person here.  So lucky me, I'm certainly not too good to clean up after an animal.  That being said, they should be outside where they belong. And goats smell like, well, goats.  OH my what a scent. 

 

My horse could smell a goat a block away and it was a struggle to get her to go nearer than that.
