Title: Goats in the snow
Post by: sokel on February 09, 2013, 08:53:54 pm
Seeing as most of our snow has gone the goats got out before the next lot comes
so here are the 11 and the american mini cross is in there aswell

Thanks everyone. They where only happy out in the field as long as I stood out there, as soon as I came in they started screaming about being neglected because they where shut out !
5 are  BTs,  2 are BT x BS sisters   , 3 are 100% Boer and then there is Lilly the 75% Boer

They are really just pets and keep us supplied with milk, although after been given some goat meat last year we have recently added the Boer's to the herd  :-\

Looking at you pics and looking at my Cloud, I can see she is definitely more Boer than Sanaan.  Same shape just white.
