Title: Should I show a deformed goat?
Post by: clydesdaleclopper on August 07, 2015, 08:55:39 pm: I know I should have taken photos to get my proportions right before I started but I was in a rush to make it so I could put it into Keith show on Sunday. I now have a goat with a VERY big head ::) So do I put it in anyway or bin it?

Out of proportion head, yes, but all the shaping in the legs and body is great. :thumbsup:
Like the cartoon style characters on kids telly.

I wouldn't want a perfect one (I don't have any perfect goats) but love mine all the more for their quirks and imperfections.
Fight perfection - it's a myth!
