Title: Big Cheesy Grin
Post by: Hatty on March 09, 2012, 06:41:53 pm

After spending all winter trying (unsuccessfully) to get Jalaini my anglo nubian in kid, I had resigned myself to the fact that there would be no kids for us this year, she refuses to stand for the billy she sits down on her backside and refuses to get up, beginning to think she bats for the other side lol.

Earlier this week i had a call asking me if i would like a billy kid, oh yes please!!!!! can you imagine how big the grin became when i got another call yesterday, did i want his 2 sisters i said no lol like hell i did!! picking up 3 anglo nubian babies in the morning i am sooooo excited

Hi Hatty,

Make sure these kids are from a CAE neg herd otherwise you could be bringing in problems , not solving one.

Where are you getting them from as a matter of interest & which bloodlines are they ?

I have been looking after a pygmy x Billy for a few months now. Yesterday the owner said if I wanted him I could keep him,. He is such a baby I said yeeeeees pleaseeee!  My two larger females play lovely with him now but when I first got him they showed him who is boss.
