Who Said That Comics Couldn’t Be Educational?
From the classic, much-read Giant Sized X-Men #1:
A Judas goat is a trained goat used at a slaughterhouse and in general animal herding. The Judas goat is trained to associate with sheep or cattle, leading them to a specific destination. In stockyards, a Judas goat will lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared. Judas goats are also used to lead other animals to specific pens and on to trucks.
I always thought Cyclops was making it up.
