Hi All - Is there anyone out there that would enjoy helping me show my animals at the Lanark event. I would like to come down with sheep and goats but I can't be in two rings at the same time.
Last year OH looked after the goats but this year being that bit further away I plan to travel the day before and sleep in the vehicle and OH will have to look after the animals at home.
The goats are probably the easier set to walk to the ring as 2 out of 3 are pretty used to the lead and I'll work on the last one - promise.

Depending on the timing of your classes and whether or not my eldest gets her butt into gear and starts training her pigs ::) she'd be happy to help you show the goats if you're stuck :thumbsup:

I think both my girls will be coming, and the pygmy classes are separate from the dairy ones, they would love to take some of yours... after all they still remember them from being next to ours last year... :-J and escaping into our pens..

Thank you HH and Anke - will enter both lots then and we'll see how it goes - Anke - Domino is now bigger so should be confined!! But no promises on Etti :innocent:

Thanks Dan, date noted in calendar.
Just realised that I have (possibly) 6 coloured kids to show :thinking: ...mmmh will need to ask for assistance too... but hopefully we will be able to work something out.

Ooh - lots of lovely crafty classes - but what on earth is a leg cleek ???

do the goats have to be CAE tested, i wonder?

It's a style of stick top, like a swan neck. Cleek = hook.
So-called because it's good for hooking sheep's legs I guess!

:idea: Thanks Dan :thumbsup: I thought it must be something like a bicycle clip :dunce:

Yes to the CAE testing Shygirl - I find it usually takes 7 - 10 days to get results so plenty of time

Yes, they do. :goat:
