Here's a few piccies of Branston (caramel tri colour) and Pickle (black & white - agouti??) our soon-to-be pet Pygmy wethers. Hopefully we'll have them end of April/early May. :excited:

They are :love: I'm guessing they are very young. Love the names :D

I'm absolutely head over heels (our first kids - we don't like the human sort!), they are amazing.
Branston was born on 25 Jan so was 2 weeks old in the photo (shouted his head off when I first held him) and we were actually there when he was born, although we missed the delivery by about 10 seconds! Pickle was born on 15 Feb so was less than 24 hours old in the photo (no shouting as I think he was still too stunned to be out in the big wide world to say anything!).

Gorgeous! :)

If I didn't know better I'd say Branson was my Billy's son - they're both super - roll on April

This is going to be the longest 2 months ever! Waiting to meet them on TAS via piccies please when they arrive :excited:

Little sweeties. Hope Pickle doesn't live up to his name.

If you get half as much enjoyment out of your little boys as I do with mine, then you are on for a very happy time. I love Toby and Billy to bits, although Billy can be a bit naughty when he gets over excited, Ive got the bruises to prove it. However, he is very loving and adores being cuddled whereas Toby is much more reserved. They are no trouble though, apart from eating everything in sight, I couldnt imagine life without them now. Good Luck!! :goat: :goat:

Visited the boys last weekend & happy to report they are both doing well. Pickle, although 3 wks younger than Branston is a real little tank! Branston has little 1cm horns showing & Pickles are just starting to come through. Both wailled like mad when we held them so we've some fun ahead of us when we bring them home. One more visit on 6 April before we collect them on 27th. Slabs delivered for house base but had to delay the shiplap delivery & base laying due to the weather. Please keep EVERYTHING crossed for a dry Easter for us, or else I'll be negotiating with hubby temporary accommodation in the conservatory!

Had to delay arrival of kids due to my ankle op 2 weeks ago & me still not walking properly. So the boys are due on Saturday. Can't wait!

Very cute :) I bet you are so excited :thumbsup:

The boys have arrived! Website up & running so have a look at www.goatcam.cavturbo.com (http://www.goatcam.cavturbo.com) for pics, vids & the webcam. Hoping they continue to settle as well as they seem to be doing. They arrived Sat & today have been outside for first time. Been bleating a bit today but seem happy - hoping they will quieten as they get more used to it here & grow in confidence. Not sure if we should ignore them when they bleat or go see them - don't want them thinking we'll come running every time they shout but don't want to ignore them if they need us!
