Yeah, it is a bummer... and also one of the reasons that I've pretty much stopped breeding goats. Not that there were ever very many deformed ones... perhaps 6 over a span of 20 years... 6 too many though.

The last deformed kid was born with one front leg missing. Years ago, I would have put it down right away, but I hesitated... and if you're going to do it, you have to do it just as soon as they're born... otherwise, I think you can't make yourself do it.

To make a long story very short, the kid died about 2 months after she was born... and I ended up feeling very crappy about it... Made me realize that I was getting too old... or maybe too tired... to deal with that kind of thing anymore... Haven't bothered to breed my few remaining goats in 2 years... maybe never will again.
