baby ears

[Suburbanfarmer]

We have twin ND bucklings that were born yesterday. One of them, his ears look totally normal like ND ears. The other one has floppy ears. Will they straighten out as he gets older?

I would say normal as a rule yes.

We've had several with one ear up, one ear down or, the ear bent about half way down.

They're all erect now.

I think sometimes they get smooshed in birth canal

Awesome, because I think he might make a nice breeding buck. He is beautiful! Gosh, I wish he were a doe. I would keep him in a heartbeat. He is blue-eyed, black and white (with a couple of moon spots), and the most beautiful frosted ears.

If I don't find a buyer that is going to breed him, I might wether him and keep him myself. I so don't need a goat that is not producing, but he is amazingly cute.
