STEINBACH,MB
A goat at the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach was just awarded the Cutest Animal in Southern Manitoba award this week.
“I’m speechless,” said the goat. “There was a lot of competition this year and all I can say is thank you to the judges and I’m truly humbled by the recognition.”
The MHV goat will be greeting visitors throughout the summer months, though he’s unsure about all the extra attention the Cuteness award may provide.
“I don’t mind people taking photos,” he said, “but please give some of the other animals some attention, too. The oxen are looking pretty lonely these days.”
Meanwhile local dog owner Terry Thiessen contested the results, saying his two-year-old Pembrooke Welch Corgi named Rufus should at least have been given the consolation prize.
