Title: Billy Goat in Lanarkshire?
Post by: paddles on September 14, 2012, 01:58:50 pm

Hi we are new to goat keeping and are looking for a billy goat in Lanarkshire or there about.  We have two girls for milk and are ideally looking for a Boer billy but as milk is the priority any billy will do.  We know of one in Northumberland but hope to reduce the distance they travel.  Keen to hear from anyone who could help or who has experience with AI.


thanks
Pauline

Hi Pauline,


I know of a couple of breeders in central Scotland, Kinross and Arbroath areas. But, if you look here, there are plenty of breeders in Scotland, including one in Lanarkshire!
