Betty is a myotonic or "fainting" goat who gives birth quite often

A woman from Kentucky has given her goat a makeover and she is dressing her in a bra. Betty has extremely large udders which inconvenience her, so her owner has decided to have a bra fitted for her.

The goat also gives birth several times per year and she can injure herself without the brassiere.

“She’s getting older and has some stretch issues,” Kathy Jacobs describes for The Courier-Journal.

Betty is a myotonic or "fainting" goat, and it takes minor startles for her muscles to freeze and for her to fall.

Jacobs' goat lingerie story will be featured on the “Double Divas” reality show on Lifetime. Producers have helped the owner find a custom bra maker, who has equipped the goat with a piece which is usually recommended for mastectomy patients.

[Update, August 29 2013]: A previous article mentioned that the goat owner is from Georgia when, in fact, she is from Kentucky. Thanks to my readers for helping me correct the error.
