Paddy and Jasmine

here is a pic of the big billy and his lady friend.  Waiting to fence their paddock, so they are free ranging in the nice long grass in the meadow ....note the trailing ropes, in case they decide not to be caught!!!

Nice goats, the BA has very nice black and whites. Shame he has horns though.

I have always been very lucky in the past, as all my goats I bred were polled - never had horns.  I did inherit an older British Toggenburg nanny with massive horns, but I never had any trouble with her being horned.  Then I was given the two Anglo Nubian boys, who have horns which curve right back, and again, they are both fine.

All 10 goats I have just acquired have horns ........but Paddys are the biggest by far.  He has not used them on me yet - but has tested them out on the door a few times, when being impatient for his tea!!!

Hey, little blue, you think Paddy is strapping ....wait till I can get a pic of Bobby the smaller billy!!!  He is as broad as he is high.  His nanny kid is a normal pygmy size though.
