Title: BT Billy wanted
Post by: Skirza on November 08, 2015, 06:35:24 pm
Getting a bit desperate - I am looking to buy or lease a proven BT billy for my 5 girls. At the moment we're living in Caithness but hopefully moving nearer to Inverness next month. Willing to travel a reasonable distance.
Anyone know of anything?

Only ones I know of are the Guilden BT's (Dundee) - they will have a male, but not sure if he would be available on loan. Have you tried Clydesdaleclopper or Mays on here?

Also, if you are on goatyfriends on facebook, someone maybe nearer you? There is someone in Perthshire, but she has pure Toggs, and not sure if she still has a male.

Hi, Euan Fraser, Inverness has a BT male, there used to be a couple of BT breeders in caithness recently dispersed but some of their stock may still be in the area. I have a pure togg male and clydesdalecloppers BT male kid here in Dunecht Aberdeenshire, boarding available.
There is 2 pure toggs males at stud in perthshire boarding available. Also dundee breeders. There is also BT males  on the Isle of Skye. I can try and get you details if interested the ones in Skye may loan out as they have a few of them hopefully I still have their address.

Did Diane meikle send her boy to the Isle of skye? If they have Scotsburn Polomint I would be interested as I used him before and he threw a couple of lovely kids. Would be grateful for any contact details if you have them Talana
