The quest for a new milker is over for Its Baaath time!! I will be adding a new toggenburg (avocet's 2nd cousin) to my herd in the autumn. she will be pregnant so I will be kidding next spring (expect lots of questions!) and best of all, she is coming from a lovely and brilliant breeder so I know she will be healthy, wormed, heptavaced and everything else

very happy, relieved, excited....!

There will be photo's to come as, although her breeder is holding onto her till mating time, my little girls are going to be showing her at a local show in the summer. Its all worked out perfectly for me as we are not in a position to take her yet due to lambs being in spare shed/paddock and I will want to introduce puffin to the other goats quite gradually ie. on the opposite side of the fence till they are used to each other.
She is one of the Willowbank toggenburgs so quite a beauty! will arrive here mated and hopefully kid next spring. The lady who bred her is just amazing, runs excellent meetings that are very informative and supportive , she is also teaching Milli my 9 yr old the tricks of the goat trade now

I was worrying about mating my current girl as it meant leaving reggie on his own so this has solved all my worries now, hence the hyper-excited post lol!

Good news then. The search is over then

Thanks Wytsend - I know you and Fay speak highly of each other

Fay's been giving me lots of advice and help especially since I lost Avocet - not only that, but she's been supplying all the milk for my soap business so when she offered to sell me puffin I was thrilled.
The search is indeed over - I can relax, enjoy the summer (well, sort of between harvesting plums!) and then look forward to Puffin coming
