Title: Yorkshire Goat Keepers?
Post by: Hatty on February 27, 2011, 10:20:15 am

Are there any  :goat: Goat keepers in the Yorkshire area? We intend to have some dairy goats on our 5 acres but would like some advice/visit some but it seems like we are on our own in the middle of the country can find keepers in the south and north but nobody local

I only have 2 rescue goats and we don't milk them so I know nothing about that I'm afraid.  Only how to look after these two.  I've also learnt a great deal from this forum which is just fantastic, and am still learning all the time.

You are very welcome to visit.  We live about 7 miles west of Harrogate.  :wave:

I have had a bit of experience milking that side of things is not to worrying, helped look after some goats for a few days in Ireland. its more the day to day stuff.
