Title: Goat wanted
Post by: Lesley Silvester on March 08, 2012, 10:35:22 pm

If yu've read the members' page you will know that my beautiful Snowflake died this evening.  I now need to find another goat to keep her daughter, Snowdrift, company.  I'm looking for a female white(ish) goat that isn't too expensive and is fairly near to us (Shropshire area).  I will happily take a kid who needs bottle feeding.  If anyone has or knows of one please let me know.

Snowflake (Flo) was a lovely quiet lady who loved to rub up and down you - she was a lovely natured goat and a fine saanen - Flo you will be sadly missed .........

I have  a kid coming in a couple of weeks so now I need to find a supply of goat's milk or buy in dried.  Never done this before so I may well be asking for advice.  I plan on keeping her separate from the others but just by hurdles so they can see each other.  Hopefully, they'll get used to each other very soon.

It is especially since I love what I've seen of Yorkshire.  Had a long weekend near Pickering last year and have also been to Hebden Bridge (for my cousin's funeral so didn't get to see much).
