- Thick cardboard
- Pencil, pen or marker
- Scissors
- Duct tape
Instructions
Trace the shape of the baby goat's ear on a piece of thick cardboard. Have a helper hold the goat kid still for you, then lay the ear flat across the cardboard and draw around the edge of the ear with a pencil, pen or marker. Repeat this tracing process a second time to create two identical traced outlines of the goat's ear.
Cut the cardboard tracings out with a pair of scissors.
Hold one cardboard ear tracing flat in your hand and rest the goat kid's flattened ear across the top of the cardboard, being careful to center the ear on the cardboard so it doesn't flop over the edges. Press the second cardboard ear tracing over the top of the goat ear to sandwich the flattened ear between the two pieces of cardboard.
Wrap several strips of duct tape around the circumference of the two pieces of cardboard to secure them together. Leave the ear splints in place for four to five days to allow the ear enough time to flatten.
