Post by: sokel on August 10, 2014, 04:22:18 pm: We have decided to shake ourselves up and concentrate on the Pure Boers and the Pure GGs and keep our original 4 dairy girls
That will give us 12 girls and William for us to enjoy ::)

They came from Jane

Good pedigrees then! Cassie is by one of Jane's boys, although I think he's not around anymore.

The sums seem to come up with surprises where animals are concerned. I left for 12 hatching marans eggs and came home with 17 and 2 goose eggs :roflanim:

Post by: Lesley Silvester on August 10, 2014, 11:09:45 pm: Beautiful goats. Which one sneaked in while you weren't looking?

Post by: goosepimple on August 11, 2014, 12:36:24 am: Ginger sisters - very nice, and that's a lovely photo actually - I can't get it bigger but it looks like an old fashioned sepia coloured one :D . Good luck with them. 3 is always better than 2 in case something happens to one of them (sure it won't of course!) and in case the 2 don't like each other as much as they should. :goat: :goat: :goat:

Depends who you ask. If I answer I would say Queenie. If Trish answered she would say Twix. But I had already decided that Twix was coming home
If you asked the others they would probably say WHAT GGs. As we just failed to mention they where coming and so far they still don't know :innocent:
The problem is we will have 13 goats ! I don't do number 13 :-\

Post by: sokel on August 12, 2014, 03:48:10 pm: Well it just shows how many of us go near the goats here , there is 4 of us and 2 have just noticed today that there is 4 GGs instead of 1 ::)

Post by: Lesley Silvester on August 12, 2014, 11:03:56 pm: How did you manage that? I thought you bought 3 of them.
Title: Re: 1+ 1 = 3
Post by: sokel on August 13, 2014, 01:31:27 am: We did buy 3 but we already had Cassie
