A real estate company recently surprised its staff by distributing a live goat to each employee as a year-end bonus in Shiyan, Hubei province, Chutian Metropolis Daily reported.
The goats were specially purchased from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, a company executive said.
All the goats were delivered to the homes of the company's staff.
"It is funny and I laughed at first when the company gave us a live goat as a year-end bonus, but it is really practical," said a female staff member surnamed Wang.
Wang said she shared the goat meat with her relatives and friends after being given her bonus.
"The goat meat dishes were delicious," she said.
