Thinking ahead!
« on: April 16, 2013, 10:20:49 am »
I'm not usually one to be organised but while I was thinking about it I thought I may as well ask now... will anybody be offering a pygmy stud service in the Autumn? I am in East Lothian but am prepared to travel for the right, registered billy  :fc:

Thank you for reminding me about that, which also reminds me I must get my details updated as I am on it advertising a billy for stud!
Unfortunately I had to sell Eli as I lost my nanny last year and it left me with only his daughters.

Oh dear I am sorry! I remember we spoke before when you weren't sure if your girls were in kid, I think.
Just a thought but could a solution be to buy a billy and let him serve the girls in the Lothians and borders for a couple of years then sell him on and buy in new blood? All the billies mentioned on the pygmy web site are further North and if I do ever get to go anywhere it is usually South to see my mum. I have a feeling Goosepimple may be looking for a billy and I know of someone in West Lothian also looking.
Let me know what you think.
