I have decided to give in to family pressure and get 2 pygmy goats, (I didn't take a lot of persuading).
so the question is does anyone have any for sale at the moment, or know of any for sale?

Agree about the pygmy goat club. That's where we found the breeder of ours. Very helpful he was too.

Anne, should have mentioned today but didn't think - I will be taking Pebbles to meet the billy of her dreams later this year - not sure where yet although I did speak to a lady at the Border Union Show who has quite a lot (she was showing her milkers at the time) - she is in Stonehaven though (between Dundee and Aberdeen) and was prepared to have Pebbles for a sleepover. She may have a couple of girls for you in which case I could pick them up and save you the journey. It would mean you waiting until the end of the year though until Pebbles is in season. I could email her if you like, or pm you her details - still a bit of a way though, I know there are a couple of people in Perthshire who have pygmies. My own girls came from Aberdeenshire, I met the lady in Perth mart to handover.

and try Preloved, almost always some on there.

I'm afraid Mr Fox took 3 of the ducks as they were going down to the river and perching on a fence which was not high enough to keep them safe. The remaining 1 (Heather) has decided that it is safer to remain in the run with my other ducks. You are welcome to come and see the goats, not sure yet when kids are due just waiting for the owner to call me with directions to collect them.

Ouch, poor you (poor them). We still have plenty if you want a pal for it - will be going to the Carlisle show on 22nd Sept and selling more there but we have lots still to tinsy for going anywhere yet plus a hatch of 15 two days ago and another mum about to hatch in the next week.
Let me know when you get the goaties, I'd love to pop in with the kiddies if that's ok.
