The goat from VS...

I had a very random Pearl Jam related conversation the other day at a bar in Mendocino. We were talking music and of course anytime that happens with me PJ gets brought up. He mentioned that he grew up in Montana and his father owned the goat from the cover of VS. I can't remember if he said he owned it before the photo was taken or after but he did say it's name was Rasta Jam. Can't be sure if it's true or just some random bar bs but it was awfully specific and random to be a lie. Anyone else know any details on the goat? Can anyone corroborate this?

Don't hold your breath, don't close your eyes.
I've learned to breath and I've learned to fly.
I've learned to see and I know I'm going higher."

The album's cover art, photographed by Ament, features a black-and-white picture of a sheep from a farm in Hamilton, Montana.

Here is a Angora Long Hair Goat
Here is a Sheep
The guy told me Goat, if the story was true I'm going with that.
P.S. I couldn't help but hearing the old "see and say's" in my head while writing this... and the beginning of the Soundgarden song "Searching With My Good Eye Closed".

That's a great article, gonna have to dive deep into that.
I guess if Jeff say's Sheep it's Sheep then.

Is the whole Idea of sheep behind a fence on the cover of an album titled "Vs." lost on you folks?

But in my defense I was 9.
Also on another note, I always associated the photo with the theme of the song "Animal".
