Was in the local Garden Centre and Picked up a copy of The Complete Countryman.Of coarse I turned to "Goats" straight away.Opposite the How to milk your goat section were Pygmy goats and the "Toggenbergs" were Anglo Nubian X                      Fidn't look any further! ;D

Can you get a milking bucket that small?   ;D

I agree that they should get their facts right.  Pygmies aren't classed as dairy goats even though they produce milk and Togs with froopy ears???  Heard it all now.
