Thank you for your responses
My story is a little complicated but basically I moved here last July, and as I had always wanted to keep goats and now have the space, I decided to go for it!
I bought two Toggenburg Boer cross girls about 18 months old and as the intention was to milk them, I took them to meet a gorgeous Golden Guernsey billy in the autumn.
Only one of the girls fell pregnant and in a way, I am relieved as due to a change in my circumstances, I am not sure I could have coped with two goats kidding!
Molly had two lovely little ginger nuts, one boy and one girl, but as I said, due to some stressful changes here, I haven't so far been able tothink about milking her. I have left both kids with her, and all is well. I however am suddenly feeling a little out of my depth and wondering if I can actually do all this!
I adore my girls, and really want to settle my nerves and make a go of this rather than give up at the first hurdle!
Dogwalker....I would love to visit when you are less busy
I think I just really need some reassurance that what I'm doing is ok! And how to move forward from here!
My eldest son (he doesn't live with me) has been doing the hoof trimming with me as helper as he has had experience with sheep. Just wish he was here all the time!
