Title: Otis has friends!!!!
Post by: Emmett on December 20, 2014, 09:30:33 am

So about 10months ago I was given a miniature goat by a family friend, but up til now his friends were our neighbours pygmies. But yesterday I did a deal with a man from Darkley on two lovely 8month old Billy's, one snipped one not. As normal there was a bit of tussling for dominance but now they are all in the field eating away. They brown one (castrated) is more of a friend for Otis, and the British Alpine (not castrated) will be used to produce kids next year! Any help with names? ;D

(Otis is the brown one closest to us)
