Name That Geep: Farmer’s Sheep-Goat Crossbreed Needs a Moniker

An Irish farmer who claims his sheep birthed a cross between a sheep and a goat is launching a charity competition to name the newborn, the Press Association reports.

The crossbreed–generally known as a geep–is said to be extremely unusual, with most reported cases resulting in a still born.

Patrick Murphy told the Press Association that he was overwhelmed by the attention the animal received after a video by the Irish Farmers Journal was posted to Youtube and is now hoping to raise funds with the naming competition for a sick child in his village of Ballymore Eustace.
