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.
I don't know though go on a sheep and goat sight or something.
Fainting goats, or myotonic goats, experience temporary muscle stiffness and collapse due to a genetic condition called myotonia. While the fainting itself is not painful, the sudden fall can potentially lead to injury if they land awkwardly or if there are hazards nearby. However, most fainting goats recover quickly and do not seem to experience distress from the episodes. Overall, the fainting is a natural response and not inherently harmful to their well-being.
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 baby goat is called a kid.

Poison ivy is a favorite food of most goats.
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!
