What is a Judas Goat?

Answer 1

A Judas goat is a specially trained goat that leads the herd of sheep up the ramp that leads into the slaughterhouse. Step by step the Judas goat leads on, stopping every few steps to look back at the sheep to make sure they're following. Once one sheep starts following the rest do the same, as their herd mentality leads them to their death.

People often behave just like those sheep. We like the security of knowing that we're headed the same way as everyone else. We follow anything that loks or sounds good to us. A Judas Goat is a person who deliberately leads us astray. If you need an example, just look at some of the Christian Cults that spring up and end in mass suicides. All lead by a Judas Goat masquerading as a messenger of God

Answer 2

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. The term is a reference to the biblical traitor Judas Iscariot.

A 'Judas Goat' is also a person used to go first to test for a safe route.

The phrase has also been used to describe a goat that is used to find feral goats that are targeted for eradication.

The Judas Goat is outfitted with a transmitter, painted red and then released. The goat then finds the remaining herds of wild goats, allowing hunters to exterminate them.
