Thank you all for the great welcome.  Unfortunately they're not registered but that's not an important thing for me at the moment.

I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with keeping goats in small spaces but my last house was a mid-terrace council house and I home board dogs for people so the tiny garden definately wasn't big enough for more than dogs and kids (human ones)

Here I've got 12.5 acres so I'm gradually stopping renting fields to my neighbour for his sheep as I get sorted out and get more of my own stock.  Big learning curve.

Very pretty  ;D I'm sure you're going to love them  :) Are you milking them or just for the joy of having them?

How long did you say it would take me to dig this 5 acres with my spade?
