I know a Farmer who keeps and did keep suckler cows and a flock of sheep.Even those with zilch knowledge of this type of farming will figure out that the secret to success is to have a bull or ram or multiples thereof which will impregnate the cows and ewes and produce calves and lambs.
Now one winter a buck goat which stank up to high heaven arrived on the scene and decided to stay.He soon became Lord of the Ring in a real sense ,taking up residence in the centre of the feeding rings into which the farmer put the bales of hay to fodder his cattle and sheep 'ating the first bit and ensuring he got his way by deft deployment of his ferocious horns which he used to devastating effect from his protected position in the centre of the ring.
Well let it and feck it said the farmer,sure he is eating sfa and doing little harm.
And so he was kept no problem and ran with the other livestock with no apparent downside.
Until the following September when the farmer found a recently purchased pedigree ram normally bursting with health as dead as a dodo in the field with no apparent cause of death.The ram was carted off to the Knackery and the Farmer took to hiding in the ditches to keep watch on his sheep to see what was going down.
It being the season when the sheep came into season the problem soon materialized,The buck goat was mounting the sheep and having his evil way.Not only that but he was seen a number of times putting his head under the belly of a ram in full flagrante on a ewe and throwing it upwards and flipping him backwards from the ewes gonads onto the ground .Bad enough for the ram that his coitus was interrupted but his back was nearly broken to boot.,
The penny dropped.That was how the dead ram had met his Waterloo.The farmer s couldn't risk the death of the other rams,And there was the additional problem that he didn't know whether the ewe's the goat had tipped would go to fruition and what they would give birth to.Maybe a geep or a a shoat.
His best information was that the ewes topped by the goat would abort at about a month into development of the foetus and unless the ewe was tipped again by a ram there would be no lambs that year .
This would lead to bankruptcy so the goat had to go .He gathered up all the sheep including the goat who thought he was a sheep with the intention of shooting it or giving it away but couldn't bring himself to shoot it nor could he get anybody to take the goat.
Now you will have to trust me and suspend reason and believe that the goat spoke to the farmer and told him what to do.
And this is what he told him to do,
HE SAID TO SPANCIL HIM,I.E .TIE HIS FRONT LEG TO HIS BACK LEG ON ONE SIDE ON A SHORT LEASH SO THAT HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO MOUNT A EWE..HE ALSO TOLD HIM TO CASTRATE HIM SO HE COULDN'T TIP ANY MORE EWES NOR ANYTHING ELSE FOR HAT MATTER.
This came to pass and the goat quietened down for a while.but old habits die hard and after a while the goat ,unable to mount a ewe himself ,began positioning himself behind and across the rear end of any ewe that came into season in order to stop the ram mating with the ewe.In this he became a dog,like the dog in the manger,who when he couldn't have a thing himself stopped anyone else from having it.
Anyhow times passed and the goat quietened down and became a part of the sheep's Union,happy enough in his emasculation and content to just eat,sleep and shite.And the rams,having additional benefits above and beyond the goat began to talk for the goat and negotiate on his behalf.and after a while the goat didn't know whether he was a goat,a sheep or a dog and gladly encouraged other goats to do as he had done.
And then there was talk of a shakeup which would involve the building of a wall which would cut off entirely the access of the goat and all the other sheep to a neighbours field ,which would deprive the goat and all the kin of the goat from grazing on sweetest herbs the goat traditionally had accesses to
The goats were fierce upset at this loss of access and barely remembered that once they were full goats but had drifted into believing that were either sheep or dogs but were unsure which.
They were so supine that they sent the King Ram and the Top Dog to negotiate on their behalf,
Naturally the King Ram and Top Dog looked after the interests of their own kind first and foremost and put the interests of the goats at the bottom of the list of demands, to such an extent that when matters were settled the sheep and dogs had first claim on the sweetest of grasses and the goats yet again got the hind tit and the race of the goat withered because they no longer stood up for themselves ,nor indeed did the buck goats stand at all in the most in important of organs and after a whiles ceased to exist as a species.
That is what happens when a breed surrenders its mojo to other breeds and becomes supine.
Now guess who is the willing emasculated buck who is leading his breed into extinction and put a name on the neighbouring farmer and also identify the Queen Sheep and the Top Dog.
And to top it all a withered Auld Nanny goat still living off the full milk of her own species ,whom she has long abandoned to mix with the elders of the sheep and dogs whose views she regards as much superior to those of the goat ,has shown her disrespect for another much bigger and successful farmer who regards the right of the goats to speak up as just valid as her frequent mutterings and regal pronouncements and labeled him a bully.
Free speech seemingly is SOLELY the perogative of withered Nanny and anyone who opposes the views of Big Bird is only a bully seemingly SO IT OK TO PREACH SEDITION AGAINST HIM IN HIS OWN FARM AND TO AGITATE HIS ANIMALS TO BURN DOWN THE STY WHICH THE FARMER PROVIDED FOR THEIR EDUCATION,
It is just as well that Humans do have a sense of decency and fair play and don't behave as animals do.
Having said that there is no animal I know of that deliberately kills its own unborn routinely ,this being the sole preserve of some of the human race.
Ya couldn't make this stuff up.
