Will reduce price to find good homes.... more important than money.

So please all those people who contacted me earlier in the year.... where are you now ?

I have two of Wytsends milkers, and also two of this years kids - oh, and an intact billy!!  All are friendly, and very easy to handle - no trouble whatsoever.  Wish some of my other goats were so well behaved ;D

Yes, I looked in on the goat section at the Bakewell Show, and had a chat with Gordon who was showing his goats.  When he delivered your goats to me, and mentioned  he was going to Bakewell I told him to make sure he got a Bakewell pudding - and he had got one to take home ;D

Could be the fact winter is drawing in, and people are wondering how much hay is going to cost this year.  I am sure someone will come and buy your goats soon ......lots of people are either on holiday or due to go away, so just a bad time for selling maybe?

You could be right !!    Just frustrating.


Hay down here will be plentiful... prices are near normal again, whatever that is.  I have been offered small bales for £2,50 delivered.    Round bales are selling for £15-18.
Straw is a bit more ... something to do with the short stems that are planted nowadays.  BUT I have found a free supply of sawdust for the girls,  so happy about this.

Can you send a wagon full of hay up please?!!  Or we will all have to move down where you are ......our hay is twice the price, but maybe thats because the hay suppliers are buying it from Devon and hauling it up here........
