Hi all, We live in Lincolnshire between Grantham & Newark, have had chickens for years, dogs and bought our first 2 Nanny goats last July, A Nubian & a Togg x. We were hooked, by Sept we bought another 2! A Saanen & a Saanen x (a right mixture) January we went halves with a friend on a 100% Young Boer Billy. (nearly got a full set!) He mated with our Nubian in January (although he needed a box to stand on as she is taller than him but did the job & she is due in June, which is great, we are really looking forward to her kidding & getting our 1st milker too! But also getting nervous in case she has any problems as they are known for having multiple kids.
May need some advice when nearer to the time please, you all seem so helpful on here it is great to find somewhere like this to come & chat, bye for now.

Thank you both for the welcome.

Hope all goes well with your kidding, what sort have you got? I was hoping for 3 or 4 in the hopes that they might be smaller and easier for her to have 1st time but heard that if she needed help would be worse as you wouldn't know which legs belonged to which! Just hope my girl is ok as you say goats are great!!!
