Florida television reporter Linda Carson now knows what a tough interview goats can really be.



Carson was signing off from a report at the Manatee County Fair in Palmetto, Fla., from a pen filled with prize-winning goats when one knocked her over with a vicious head butt.

Carson had just finished saying how friendly the goats were as she laughingly chided one for gnawing on her pant leg.
