Earless Goats
Indeed. I jest not. These are LaMancha goats - which entails them being 'earless', but not deaf, mind you. They are just cartilidge-impaired.
They are the newest addition at my sister's farm, which, ironically enough, just got some attention from PBS's Small Business School (smallbusinessschool.org) and are publishing my photo taken of my neices: http://smallbusinessschool.org/webapp/sbs/Holidays/LaborDay/school.jsp
The baby in the foreground actually has the ears - don't know what that's about - but as you can see, the nanny and other kids don't. This set is very shy - so this is as close as I got before the battery went dead on my camera.
More farm pics tomorrow, and I promise I will update the photos on my sister's site this week. Girl Scout's honor.

Those are cute! I personally like the floppy eared goats. I think they're the cutest.
lol, I'm SO not the farmer type, but these guys are just begging to have their cute lil cheeks pinched!
I just saw one today for the first time, while driving by a farm. As soon as I got home I had to look up online to see if it was actually a breed of goat. And to my amazement they are!
Sooo cute! And I like your picture better than mine on my latest post. I took some at our local county fair, but I didn't like all the metal pens as a backdrop. I prefer the natural scenery for these cute little guys.
