Buy a Goat for $5

If you haven't heard Alton Brown plugging Heifer International lately, you haven't been watching enough TV.  Well good for you.
 

In any case, since 1944 Heifer International has been helping families and invigorate communities through livestock and training.  They have developed programs that alleviate hunger and poverty; and one of those programs is providing a family with a goat.
 

So you can't buy a goat for $5.  A whole goat costs $120, which even in the United States is a good amount of dough, so here's the deal.  
 

I have set up a PayPal donate button (see below) that will go into a goat fund.  For every $120 we collect, we will buy a goat through Heifer.  This will be an ongoing campaign.
 

So bring it on!  Tweet this, Like this, post about it, StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious, and Reddit.  Let's buy some goats!
