This type of ear will not only show the ripple in the middle but will bend at the ripple and drop forward seemingly shading the eye as it does such. The attachment to the head remains at the same placing as the later style and in both cases they do not droop where they come outward from the head. This is unlike the Nubian style ear which will droop from the point of connection. Though in some animals the ears may appear to slightly droop it is because of their loose attachment to the head rather than the structure of the ear itself. Even though the attachment may feel loose the ears still have good mobility and the animal is able to fully control them.
Myotonic goats tend to have a wide muzzle and a medium length nose.
The side profile of the face is fairly straight with possibly a slight dip present just below the set of the eyes. The bone density and overall muscling is greater in Myotonic goats than in other breeds of similar size. Though it should be in proportion to the animal it will still appear greater than other breeds. A heavy bone density is essential for this breed of goat. It must be able to carry the increased muscle mass that naturally occurs with their myotonia.
