The Sannen is actualy a Togg  x Sannen she is snowdrop our maiden milker and  a full sister to bluebell  the sort of miss mark togg in the middle of the picture they are 2011 kids,Mum is Cherry standing behind them in the second Picture.

They are beautiful.  Just got 3 wether boers on Friday and an AN female. Who can say they are useless?!  I think they are very pretty and delicate.  Hoping to get my OH to go north for some more Boer females in next few weeks. 
 
They are a bit loud compared to sheep though. Neighbours haven't complained yet!  It's such a heart tugging little bleat.  They are so inquisitive but look a bit lost in my paddock. A couple are destined for the freezer so I mustn't get too attached  :'(

Absolutely.
 
BTW, the field looks a tad damp in the last picture.
