We put the new babies out today for a bit of a run also as the sun decided to make a rare appearance, Our BT's will not stay in a paddock for ten mins, they have to be somewhere else at any given time.

Great pics  ;D  :thumbsup:

Yes, Rowan keep leading an escape party from my goat paddocks too. She gets out, the kids all follow her, which leaves Ellie who is too fat to escape and so stands there yelling for her kid, Ria, to come back. Needless to say Ria is having far too much fun to do as her mum tells her. Good job I have no neighbours at the moment, Ellie has a loud voice!

She looks nice, does she have a 'posh' name?
I'm so used to seeing my hairy monsters it looks strange to see almost naked BT's  ;D .
I've got 6 togg kids, because you can't see the white on the mums hairy rear ends, it amuses me to see all the white 'botties' when we are going to or from the field.

Yes she does have a posh name, " KERBORNE MUFFIN " is what she insists on being called, She is such a gentle soul.

Compared to the BT I used to have, yes, my Toggs are much more sociable and easier to handle, they love to have 'chats' and little stroking/scratchings sessions. The BT I used to have would pull you straight over when she wanted to go anywhere, I heard the lady who bought her was dragged head first through a lot of mud. Maybe that was her upbringing (the goats ;D ), she was a few years old when I bought her (should have wondered why she was cheap).
