A luckless Bulgarian farmer who was been married three times has decided to try his hand at marriage one last time - with a goat.

Stoil Panayotov exchanged his third wife with Elena the eight-year-old goat at a livestock market in March - because she couldn't provide him with a child.

The extraordinary deal was concluded in front of a stunned crowd in the market town of Plovdiv, central Bulgaria.

advertisement"The day before a friend told me that he has had no luck with women and that he really liked my wife," says the 54-year-old. "The deal was reached when my wife gave her approval.

"The goat has given birth to three kids and my wife to none.

"So this deal was more profitable to the goat owner, I got a second-hand goat and he got a brand new wife."

Damn, he could only get one goat? She must have been a dog.

I think the exchange rate is 2 goats to one dog...

The wife was overheard telling a bystander in the market that the goat got the short end of the deal.
