... Max, our wether (now 10 months) has, hopefully, got a nice new home!
as there are no other goats, I persuaded my husband that we should let the more timid of the twin girls go with him, letting us concentrate on raising a placid milker of the other.

the family are lovely, and local,with a smallholding (chickens, pigs, cade lambs raised to slaughter etc) and want pets & ground-clearers, so Max & Meg will live a life of riley. and be spoilt rotten by the 4 girls Im sure!

just waiting for them to sort out fences etc..... (and not change their minds

)

and yes, I will be very upset to see them go, but its for the best $:-\$

Thats good news - it is hard to get rid of male goats, maybe slightly easier than rehoming cockerels!!!

I am supposed to be selling Bobby the smaller of our intact goats, but I do find it hard to let them go.

well, they went today.....
fairly quietly actually. Max seems like he loves the eldest girl already - when they came to look he was showing off and playing with her, and followed her to the trailer today good as gold (he complained at us when he had his collar put on!)

Meg was carried, she and Max are real pals, so they'll look after each other in this goats' paradise of green they are going to!

Mum, Dad and sister are all quiet here, they've been quite spoilt today (no change there then!) so are probably too full to make a fuss....
