Should I show a deformed goat?
« 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?


Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

I rather like him/her - I would say more of a representation of a goat as its not a real goat and rather nice too - go for it  :thumbsup:

I think it's brilliant.
Out of proportion head, yes,  but all the shaping in the legs and body is great. :thumbsup:

Devonlady I don't think there would be a big market for needle felted mutants  :roflanim:

I'm not at all amazed it won! She's lovely. :thumbsup:


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!
