What do you get when you cross sheep & goat ? BBC News

Geep: A rare, hybrid animal that is part goat and part sheep has been born on a farm in the Republic of Ireland. The animal was born about two weeks ago on Paddy Murphy's farm in County Kildare. The unexpected arrival is thought to be the result of mating between a goat and one of the sheep farmer's Cheviot ewes. Mr Murphy has described the accidental birth as a "shock to the system". He spoke to news correspondent Patrick Donohoe, from the Irish Farmers Journal.

    I was a shepherd for years in the High Atlas Mountains we used to have a herd goats and sheep mixedv .Some of the goat bucks once they are 4 months old they tart mating with ewes when they are in heat if rams are very busy with many ewes in heat at the same time Shepherds do not like that because the cross gives very small lamds with very low quality woll . So shepherds get rid of those male bucks as soon as they see them mating with ewes . But not all bucks do that 1 to 2% only . Thank you

    Geep or the hybrid of sheep and goat are incredibly rare to begin with and usually the pregnancies aren't carried to term. There's been very few actually confirmed cases of hybrids like there was one in Germany that actually got genetically tested. Generally people get excited when claiming to have one but when it comes to actually genetically testing it to prove that it is indeed a geep they usually claim it died or that they were busy. So I'd like to say be a little skeptical because it might not even be a real hybrid however if you hear about there being one and it actually getting tested then get excited.

    Never heard of a goat sheep hybrid that involved a male goat and a female sheep what I have read is that goat semen cannot even fertilize the egg of a sheep on the other hand it is quite possible for a male sheep to fertilize the eggs of a female goat but hybrids are very rare and most are stillborn but Live births can sometime occur re(toast of Botswana)male Geep offspring of a male sheep and a female goat with 57 chromosomes this hybrid animal develop faster than either goat or sheep and had a very high libido but failed to produce any pregnancies and was eventually castrated

    Goats are intelligent but they aren't THAT intelligent. Domestic livestock will mate with other species, nobody has to force them they aren't picky like that. Poultry can be the same way, they do not necessarily care if their mate is the same species or not. I've had a white female goose and black male turkey "pair up" even though each had the opposite gender of their own species available to them.

    Species under the same genus can interbreed even if their chromosomes do not match up. However, even though females are can be fertile, the males are sterile inhibiting the ability for hybrid species to traverse further than that. Genuinely hybrids do not do to well due to genetic and instinctual conflict. Most are stillborn or pass during infancy
