As a rule, goats' ears are not cropped. Sometimes goats with floppy ears have their ears caught in a fence or pull the tags out, and that tears them.

There is one breed of goats that has ears (the external, floppy part) that are very short or nonexistent, and that is the LaMancha. You can find information about LaMancha goats here:

LaManchas have ears that are naturally that way-- they are not cropped or clipped in any way.

Why do people clip their pit bulls ears?

There are essentially two grounds for ear-cropping in dogs. The first and most widespread is cosmetic in certain breeds of dogs where these dogs are typically shown at exhibitions or competitions and where the cropped ear remains in the breed standard; the second is sanitary in working breeds where the dogs ears are otherwise vulnerable to serious injury. In the latter not only is the working dog saved significant pain and discomfort in the field, there is not need to continually administer potent antibiotics to counter infections. Outlawing clinical practice has forced the surgery 'underground' in many countries.


What is the function of the goat ear?

Elephant ears have many uses. First, they are used to hear with. :) Second, they are used to help keep an elephant's body temperature down. Their ears have a lot of blood vessels that carry warm blood from their body to the skin, where the blood is cooled down either by the surface air, or by flapping their ears, or both, and then the cooler blood is returned to the body where it helps cool the animal down. Ears are also used to communicate. Elephants use ear posture to communicate joy, calm, excitement, and warnings to each other and to other animals that they are about to charge. By holding their ears stiffly out from the sides of their heads, they also can make themselves look even larger and more formidable than they already are.
