:goat: :excited: Thanks to 'the mad goat woman of Madeley' as she describes herself (she isn't mad at all - just loves her goats, which is an admirable character trait in my humble opinion) and her gentle Saanan nanny called Pom, I have had a refresher lesson in hand milking a goat (quite a few years since I did that on a cleint's Anglo- Nubian). Pom even let me trim her feet in exchange for some Rich Tea biscuits! Met her son Curry and her stable mate Cloud too when I gave them their supper, plus the 3 dogs who made me very welcome. Looking forward to some bookings for folk needing relief care of their goats in the future as I'm now "hooked"!

And I can tell you all that Yvette did a very good job with both. I would recommend her.
PS Yvette there's no need to tell everyone I'm not mad. I do have areputation to keep up you know. :roflanim:

Go for it. You won't regret it. Except maybe when the weather is atrocious and you still have to go and milk. ;)
