The hybrid – sometimes referred to as a geep or a shoat – is believed to be extremely unusual…
“I only have white-faced Cheviot sheep, and when this one came out it was black,” he said.
“That sometimes happens. But the next morning I said to myself this isn’t a lamb at all, it’s more like a goat.”
He added: “It was moving a bit too quickly for a lamb, its legs were very long and he even has horns like a goat.”
Murphy said he had noticed a goat mating with his sheep on the mountainside but assumed nothing would come of it.
