Title: New arrivals
Post by: Herdygirl on August 27, 2015, 10:42:29 pm
Last night we collected two lovely little girls from Penninehillbilly,  they are about 5 months old and I spent quite a bit of time today just watching them,  they are 3/4 Toggenberg and a 1/4 Saanen and have taken the Saanen colouring.  I think I am in love  :love:

I know the feeling, I get so distracted by mine I now have to set the alarm on my phone to remind me to go to work. They are so cute and entertaining  :thumbsup:

lol you could be right, we are also on the lookout for a milking nanny, with or without kid as PHB sent us away with some delicious fresh and frozen milk and it will be a while before we get any from the little girls  :)

Nothing can beat the taste of fresh goats' milk and just you wait until you get into cheese making.


I only have two goats but that is due to lack of space rather than lack of wanting.
