Too far from you to be any help but I know of several milkers looking for homes up this way

If your nanny is horned you will have to buy another horned goat, otherwise the incomer would be at a significant disadvantage.
If you think your nanny will be boss, maybe look for a goatling, ready to mate this autumn, and run your current girl through.
