Will have to compare pedigree's Katie! they could be related.the breeder concerned's goats  always seem to have a distinctive face don't they? I can see so much of Avocet in Puffin  :)   :goat:

She seems to have a nice soft winter coat. Any head butting yet?

Toggies are lovely. When you seen them in the almost dark, all you can see are the white stripes looking at you - really such a funny picture. Very affectionate too.
Will the kid(s) be toggie or cross?

She's gorgeous, love her fringe along her back, does it come up her neck like a mane? Who is she in kid to?
One of mine has developed her long coat this year, either it's colder than where she came from or they develop full coats at 3rd winter ;D

There was some headbutting when she arrived Anke, but we've got her opposite sides of the electric strand for a few days while they adjust (and while we get some hosepipe to stick on vanna's horns!)
The kid(s) will be pure Togg.
She is in kid to a Togg billy owned by Puffin's breeder, he was a new line to the herd.

Her fringe doesn't come right up her neck as yet but there's lots of fluff. I'm still blown away by how colourful she is! We have her second cousin's son here (Reggie) as she is from the same family as my first goat, Avocet  :)

She is adorable.  I love that she calls for cuddles.  :)

Mine are in kid to the same chap so the kids will probably be identical! Bags all the doelings!

They're due the first week of March. Faerie is already looking like she has panniers! Richard asked me today how many kids goats normally had. When I told him these two had three each last time he went pale!

haha! don't tell him about the AN in Aldington who had 5 last year then  ;) Not sure Tony has really twigged about the kidding side yet, bless him. He did ask Fay the other day though if the movement form had to say "one (plus) goat" due to pregnancy but she reassured him it was just 'one'.  Not to mention I think we'll be seeing lambs born to your little WH girl same time  ;)
