:goat: :goat: :goat:
Well remember a few weeks ago to dedicated goat fans I came on here looking to help someone out with their goats and "found" Lesley (MadGoatWoman) - second time in 10 days I came I saw and conquered the goat yard!! Lesley as you know has been poorly with her fall and I went today to clean the goat yard. Well it easy enough apart from having a 4 month old castrated kid called Curry! His mum and gran are lovely quiet Saanens who know their manners and appreciate the clean thru, oh not him, trying to get the wheelbarrow in is one thing then trying to stop him jumping in and out of the blasted thing is another, Im amazed how strong they are at this age, it certainly makes you laugh and appreciate the funny side of goat keeping - his days are numbered however so I try not to get too attached to him........You do get very attached though don't you goat lovers!!
-
;D ;D ;D Glad you're enjoying your goat keeping.
-
And I'm glad he is too. Very grateful to Salopman for his help.
Curry is definitely getting too big for his boots. He is quite aggressive. I'm not attached to him. Can't wait until he lives up to his name. Goat curry. Yum!
-
Yep he is deffo looking more like curry than bambi to me!
-
:D
they're b*ggers arent they?!
Luckily, our goats are more scared of the wheelbarrow (noise it makes on the slabs) than they jump in ... the pigs however are a bloomin' pain at mucking out time!

As well as Curry trying to jump in (and succeeding), there is also Flo who likes to chew the wheels and Pom whose favourite taste is the handle grips. :goat:
