Hello From the Midlands

Hi there.

We keep chickens and ducks and have joined here in the hopes of some help and advice about Pygmy Goats.

We are excited at the prospect of having a pair of back yard goats and can't wait to learn more.

Hi there from a rather sunny and pleasant Worcestershire.  I don't know anything about goats, but I am sure there are lots of people who can help on the forum

all the best
