The Irish Farmers Journal has been in touch with scientists at UCD to do some blood tests on the hybrid and discover what exactly its genetic make-up is.

Last year farmer Paddy Murphy saw a goat tipping some of his ewes, but thought nothing would come of it. However, almost three weeks ago one of his purebred cheviots dropped a brown creature with budding horns. The “geep” has been thriving since and an Irish Farmers Journal video of it has been viewed almost a quarter of a million times online.
The media outlets that have reported on the unusual creature include the BBC, The Guardian, Time.com, Fox News and People magazine.
Murphy is going to run a competition in his pub in Ballymore Eustace to find a name for the wee fella. All donations raised will be donated to help with the care of a local sick child.
