RHS2011 obviously no body twiged or reads the glasgow herald but beth aka ballingall had her photo in fridays edition (just catching up on paper work ) :goat: :farmer:
-
Thats brilliant, I wonder if someone can scan and put on here, would be nice to see!! Well done!
-
aww scan it in!
-
Well done, Beth!!
-
I haven't seen the picture yet either! Didn't get a Herald on Friday, and I did have a hunt through their website yesterday as they told me I should be able to buy it from there- but couldn't find it.
I was on Saturday morning's BBC Radio Scotland's farming programme as well- I haven't dared listen to that yet!

i was at the goats and saw you Beth, but every time i came to say hello, you were busy speaking to someone, so in the end i just left and went to look at the sheep instead :)

Lovely piccy of your goat Beth - are you camera-shy like me ;) ;D
-
I am slightly camera shy- but to honest I wasn;t expecting to be in the picture at all! Poor little Karla, she got about 3 extra buckets of water thrown at her in order to take that picture!
Thanks very much for posting that Robert- I will keep on trying the herald website!

You look remarkably dry in that picture Beth - when bathing my girls I am usually at least as wet, if not more, than they are....
-
ha ha ha I didnt expect a pic like that!! great one, & my fave goat too ;)
-
Question - should you bathe your goats periodically? I know this was for the show but is it good to do it now and then / do they like it / is it something I should be doing to my goats and didn't know? Good action shot but didn't give the goats name for future blockbusters :D

It is useful to wash them occasionally- doesn't have to be often, even just once a year. But it helps get rid of dust, loose bits of skin, hay seeds in their coat etc etc. And obviously if you want to do a preventative against creepy crawlies (lice etc) you can use a Dermoline type shampoo. They definitely don't mind getting a bath- unless its a cold day and you use cold water! That wouldn't be fun.

where do u get ur dermoline shampoo from, i used to use that alot on the ponies, then havnt beed able to find it for the last 2 years. it has a lovely clean smell.
-
I haven't bought any Dermoline this year, but have a bottle we bought last year. Normally get it from horse stands at shows, or it might have been from Central Saddlery as they are very near us. I'll have a look at Doune and Dunblane this week and see if we can find any.
