Does anyone in Aberdeenshire offer a stud service?
I currently have a Billy but am going to have to get rid of him as he's proving a bit too difficult to handle and my kids can no longer play with the goats as he's proving too rough.
I currently have 1 saanan type and 1 toggenburg type, and am about to get a couple of Nubians so the breed of stud isnt hugely important. Nubian would be good as they will be pure bred.

Also Scottish Goat keepers Federation(£6 annual membership) one will be out soon as well, (covers larger area) All are registered breeds and cae tested so most people only accept cae tested females, some people able to board females, Often a stud fee is charged or boarding fee sometimes like £30 but it depends.

Hi,
sorry to hijack your post just wondered how you join the Grampian Goat Club. I live in Aberdeenshire and want to start a small herd of milking goats, would like to get lots of information of breeders etc. Thanks

Hi Nessyt,

I was about to ask the same question as I'd emailed the gmail account listed on the website but not heard anything back yet.

Talana,

can you offer any info on this? I appreciate people do this in their spare time therefore not wanting to seem critical. I just want to make sure I have the right contact details.
