Yorkshire Goat Keepers?
« on: February 27, 2011, 10:20:15 am »
Are there any  :goat: Goat keepers in the Yorkshire area? We intend to have some dairy goats on our 5 acres but would like some advice/visit some but it seems like we are on our own in the middle of the country can find keepers in the south and north but nobody local
How long did you say it would take me to dig this 5 acres with my spade?

I only have 2 rescue goats and we don't milk them so I know nothing about that I'm afraid.  Only how to look after these two.  I've also learnt a great deal from this forum which is just fantastic, and am still learning all the time.

You are very welcome to visit.  We live about 7 miles west of Harrogate.  :wave:

Thanks  :wave: and hello we are near Doncaster, would be nice to meet you

I have had a bit of experience milking that side of things is not to worrying, helped look after some goats for a few days in Ireland. its more the day to day stuff.
