Title: Molly goat
Post by: Roxy on February 11, 2015, 02:44:34 pm: has this week become a mother, grandmother and great grandmother!! I said last year when she had twins that would be her last - but yesterday she had a lovely little female, and is as usual when she has kids, over the moon to have a little one to fuss over.

I will be putting some goats up for sale - as I really do need to get my numbers down again

Please don't advertise a spotty girl or I may put my marriage in peril with requests for another goat ;D

Ditto! And yes, you definatley can tempt and I love my AN's. Not sure you would want to trust any of your goats to me though at the moment. Still a bit stunned to find that my AN I was convinced has cloudburst as she has not been mated this year (or so I thought) is carrying twins!

Post by: Beeducked on February 13, 2015, 07:04:00 pm: I know! I can resist anything except temptation! :excited: Of course I may be about to have more goats than I planned on but don't think it is possible to have too many goats! Blossom has somewhat foiled my plan to get her into kid to another AN this autumn but sure they will be gorgeous whatever they are.
