Our goat Clover had her baby yesterday but, she had it too early and it was a little dis - formed. The baby was white with a big brown patch, it was a beautiful skinned goat but the big problem was it
was . . . . BLIND!!! We just couldn't keep a blind goat because when it was older it would be picked on by the older goats for being weak, it would walk into electric fences, walls and other objects because it couldn't see them. By the 1st to 2nd hour the baby still wasn't walking or standing which is a sign that they are way to weak because normally baby goats will stand with the first couple of minutes after birth. The baby was also really cold and it was shivering! The big reason for this baby being dis - formed was because the mother had a double tit, which means that it has 2 tits on one side and one on the other, so technically her udder is dis-formed making it a high possibility of the baby to be dis-formed. We decided to put it out of it's misery by shooting it with the gun, before it died Mum held out 2 hands she said beans in this hand and tomatoes in this hand, the baby flopped to one side because it was too weak to stand it flopped and it choose the beans hand so after Dad killed it, Mum and I dug a garden bed and buried the baby in the garden and planted the beans on top. We called the goat Bean Patch because it had a big patch on it's skin and we planted beans on top of it in the garden. Each goat has there own plant and garden. It was very sad, but we had put it out of it's misery. (P.S - Pics coming soon)
