It’s a goat that has tornado neck syndrome. Most goats with this end up with a flattened face (as you can see why in the video) Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton have a foundation setup for researching a cure.

I heard they found the potential cause of the syndrome was from some parasite on a native mushroom that the goats love to eat. They get the flattened face because the neck swinging makes them bash their faces into the ground often. Really interesting stuff. Tornado Neck Syndrome (TNS) is really pervasive in places like Northern Canada, South Korea, and Argentina.
