[Jacob-list] (no subject)

Regarding Jacob lambs with bent ears - one year we had a ewe lamb who was
born with her one ear bent downward, giving her a look of dishevelment
and untidiness - the other one was fine and as she grew and developed the
bent ear eventually totally "repaired" itself and the ears became
symmetrical and normal in every way.  One year our pygmy goat female
delivered twins and one of them was born with both of her ears bent
upward, rounding over the top of her head with the tips of the ears
meeting - it seemed that perhaps space was at a premium in utero and her
ears just assumed the shape of her head.  It was absolutely adorable -
she looked sorta like a goat Leprachaun - or like a Star Trek goat with
Leonard Nimoy ears - and her ears persisted that way for quite a long
time.  However, by the time she was full grown her ears had finally
assumed a more goat-like position and today she looks perfectly normal -
our neighbor bought her and was a bit disappointed that the ears became
normal as they gave her a one-of-a-kind sort of "other world" look.
