Title: Boer Goatlings
Post by: sokel on November 03, 2012, 07:19:06 pm

Well we have finaly found someone with some BBGS registered 100% Boer disbudded Goatlings for sale !
We are going to look at them tomorrow and then collect once  the CAE test has been done  :excited:
The theory is we are going for ONLY 1 as we already have a 75% in kid reserved to collect mid november but we will see  :innocent:

Wonder if the theory and the actual fact will coincide.  Not a hope, I'll bet.   ;D :goat: :goat:

I will have to take some, the problem I am having is that I only have the internet at my friends house other than via my mobile , our phones and internet have been off since the 10th and now they are saying it could be the 28th before it comes back on as they have to put new cables in to 8 houses including ours

wellllllll we decided 11 goats where our perfect number butttttttt we now fancy a Kalahari  ::) so if we manage to find one looks like our perfect number will have to be 12  :innocent:

After that will the perfect number be 13?

No we will have to stick to 12 as we need to keep space for any kids we have  ::)
