[image: new york times | misfits of modern agribusiness- fainting goats are so named due to a hereditary genetic disorder called myotonia congenita which causes a goat, when startled, to tense for about ten seconds. many young goats will topple on their side, while age brings with it the strategy of spreading their legs or leaning on a fence.]
say hello to the tennessee fainting goat, chip- a chomsky meets sendak bricolage of surrogate maternity and plebian daydream- a visually mythic pastiche of constellation hopefully diversifying the holstein's tribune of static gastronomy and agricultural lysol. chip is a promising, stocky breed who, along with his lab-fellows, may change the face of a quickly evolving urban pastoral- crafting sustainable urban plots.
chip is part of an emerging technology known as cryopreservation where the fertilized embryos of unusual breeds are frozen, thus preserved, and then raised in surrogate, nubian mothers at a later time. like seed banks, this advancement is cataloging and preserving biodiversity for future generations. a male fainting goat's stout frame is ideally suited for future urban plots because they are less likely to leap fences and will produce a good poundage of tasty, versatile meat.

[image: constellations of words | cataloged in hyginus' fabulae, aegipan were extensions of the imagination of travelers exploring the atlas mountains in northwest africa. pliny the elder describes a mount atlas where, fruits of all kinds grow spontaneously there in such profusion that pleasure is always satisfied. and, at night atlas flashes with many fires, so men say, and is filled with the wanton frolics of goat-pans and satyrs and resounds with the music of flutes, pipes, drums, and cymbals.]
fainting goats are one of three breeds normally raised for their meat, with the south african boer and the new zealand kiko rounding out the list. their meat, or chevon, is dependent on their age, with a characteristic goatiness believed to be linked to the presence of 4-methyloctanoic and 4-methylnonanoic acid- words that are worth nothing more to me than oenerisms, imagining them as three-dimensional constellations keeping watch over the goats of atlas mountain at night.
today, good goat consomme and birria have long been a carefully shared styrofoam cup and corn shell amidst the restaurants of chicago's pilsen and little village neighborhoods- amazing five dollar treats surrounded on all sides by a rich culinary identity. across the street from don pedro's carnita haj on 18th is birreria reyes de ocotlan, home to an equally transformative broth that one day may include the remnants of cryopreserved ruminants raised within the legacy of billy goat tavern owner, billy sianis' eternal tutelage.
