Title: Got a Billy Goat today
Post by: spandit on February 18, 2014, 09:10:27 pm
Needed one to deal with some brambles. I've locked it in the shed overnight, sure it will be fine...

If it is entire........you are about to enter an entirely new experience.

Hope you actually have 2 goats, otherwise this boy will go looking for company.

Managed to have a play with it yesterday - not easy getting it up there but seemed to do a decent job. The number of voles scattering out the way was quite impressive and I hope the frog I saw was the only one

Still waiting for my delivery... :(
