the answer is....

goats!
This weekend's trivia question was "What farm animal, according to legend, first discovered coffee?" 
The story is that a goatherder in East Africa came upon some of his flock chomping down on berries from a small tree and they were so excited and hyper they couldn't sleep that night.  Naturally, the goatherder wanted to try it out for himself, and thus the world was changed.   Mmbbaaaaaaaa!!
I was thinking this over quite a bit after someone asked why the shepherd would decide to eat the berries that were making the goats crazier than baby goats already are.  Maybe he was just looking for a little intoxication.  I decided to believe that he loved his little goats so much that he was willing to take the risk.  So glad that he did!
