oh I hadn't even checked on that!! I think perhaps they didtn' believe just how much she DOES do for a 7 year old. she keeps asking if she's won, I'll have to tell her next time she asks me, she'd pencilled in that money to buy us a holiday!

well, there was a list in the latest mag... but you'd better check yourself, not take my (notoriously unreliable!) word for it!

They all look a credit to you

she is a pure toggenburg indeed and a very placid lovely lady too  :)  her son is X-breed but no idea what with (apart from shrek that is!)
ironically, the milking goat was actually born only a few miles from here but I bought her quite some distance away. fate's a funny thing!

We have had a couple of pygmy goats for about six years, but kept more sheep. I only have one of this years lambs left, she deserted the sheep and went off with the goats, much to her mothers annoyance. All sheep sold and new goats have started to fill their places, well two anglo nubians at the moment. Your goats look lovely, When we go looking for the next ones, I am definately going to get toggenburg. They have such soft looking faces. I particularly like the milking attire your daughter wears, my daughter has just turned 15 and still loves the pink. We have just renovated our house and her bedroom is called the birthday cake as it is so pink. Your daughter will have such happy memories of her childhood, well done you.
