Weird Wednesday


You all remember the Goat of Happiness. These are the Goats of Confusion. I took this picture this past summer at the Iowa State Fair. Yes the one in back doesn't have any ears. They had been cut off. I don't know why. I don't even pretend to understand why animal production is the way it is. But I thought these guys were cute (even without ears) and they were excited to have their picture taken. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself while they were trying to eat my camera.

I don't think the ears were cut off.

Thanks Salt. I hadn't seen this type of goat before. It might have been a Lamancha. He was awfully cute. And incredibly affectionate.
