Oy... According to dictionary.com a goad is 10 feet: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=goad (last definition) So a milligoad is a centifoot... 1300 milligoats is 13 feet! Too big... Ah, but according the units program a goad is 4.5 feet: goad 4.5 UKft # used for cloth, possibly named after the # stick used for prodding animals. so 1300 milligoads is just under six feet (70 inches...)
