Just wondered if anyone was in need of a goat?

So why,one wonders, has this paragon of perfect goathood been picked out for sale? :thinking:

Strange how some people expect others to give their animals a "forever home". With the best will in the world it's something that you just can't promise, as circumstances change.

maybe they have increased their herd? Mind you I have been lied to on adverts before, so you just never know.....

I hate the whole 'forever home' thing. Smacks of some kind of superiority over people just trying to do there best for their livestock. Anyway it is cheeky to ask someone else to provide a 'forever home' if you can't be bothered yourself.
