I have to say I am not in favour of goats - and pregnant ones, especially - being sold at markets.  Hope they find a nice, knowledgeable buyer!

very very rare they are seen at this market.

personally i would not buy any goat from a market but some times whole groups of animals turn up there because a owner has died or the farm has been sold so there is a possibility they could set someone up with a herd.

I often used to visit Melton to see if there were any goats of the type I was looking for they used to have about 50 at a time :)
