Having lost my milking goat yesterday
I now find myself with something of a dilemma. I only have 2 goats now, 1 castrated billy and a 17 month old girl. I need milk to make soap for Its Baaa-th time.
so if I
a) take savannah to a billy that leaves Reggie alone while she is gone, that can't be good?
b) if I bring a billy here will he fight my castrated (and very gentle) Reggie? I have no way of separating them logistically.
c) should I buy in a new goat that has milk already to take my herd back to 3 and avoid this issue when I do mate savannah next year? what potential issues come with bringing in a new nanny?
I would really appreciate any wise words please, have had no sleep last night, family all still heartbroken about my beautiful toggenburg and have to wait today for her to be collected - the end always seems so undignified for such gorgeous animals
