Title: Goatling wanted
Post by: Skirza on February 24, 2012, 03:17:22 pm
I've put this in marketplace but thought I would try in the goat section as well...

I really want an AN x either Saanen or BT. This is because I fancy a slightly higher butterfat of the AN with the yield of the Saanen or BT. Whether this is right or not is by the by...it's what I've set my heart on. Trouble is, we couldn't find a registered AN within 150 miles of us to put to either of my girls...so, my OT has very sweetly said that he will buy me a goatling for my (*whisper...50th) birthday this year. If anyone has, or knows of one that might be for sale, could you let me know  :)

I have got an AN kid born March 2011 & also a pure Saanen (50% Dutch blood.. higher BFs) for sale

Call me on 01647 231456    would save me advertising them so price will reflect this.

Whereabouts are you ?

I maybe have a reg. White BT x S available, depends on a few factors wether I let her go but she's a very high qaulity lady from proven bloodlines.

Beth/Ballingal may have something like that, although I don't know if they cross their AN's.

Gordon George does do transport to Scotland so might be possible   but of course would add to the costs.

We hardly ever cross the AN's, but keep them pure instead. I do have a kid born in may last year who I could possibly be persuaded to part with, but she is pure AN. I do know someone near Inverness who keeps both AN's and BS's so I guess he might have something. I'll check with him and report back.
