Yes, fainting goats have a genetic disorder which causes their muscles to freeze when they are startled. This usually causes them to fall over.
It can happen when they are afraid or excited and it is not a form of entertainment for uneducated owners and their friends.

Myotonic animals will have enlarged muscles. Enlarged muscles (called Hypertrophy of muscles) will mean the animal will have a better carcass at slaughter . These animals may dress out better however they have an inability to escape predators because of the myotonia.

A Kid. A Baby Goat (as well as a Young Goat) is called a 'KID'
There is a specific breed of goat (the fainting goat) that "faints" when startled or scared. Their muscles just freeze. It is a self-defense mechanism - most predators would not be interested in an already-dead animal. Though many people think that it is funny when these goats faint, it is actually not good for the goats if it happens often. People really shouldn't scare them on purpose!
"Goat" is a generic term for the animal and refers to both genders. A male goat is called a "Billy Goat" and a female goat is called a "Nanny Goat". A young goat is called a "Kid".
