 :wave:  Hi and welcome from suny Shropshire.  You can probably guess from my forum name where my interests lie.   ;D  I have a pure Sanaan and her half BA son, Curry (who will soon be living up to his name), together with an eleven week old SanaanxBoer.  As I 'farm' in my back garden, I am rather restricted for space so not as many as I would like. 

When I first became a goat keeper, nine years ago, I had shared a Sanaan (mother to my current one) and a Toggenburg with a friend but she decided after a couple of months that she didn't like the Sanaan and wouldn't have her living in her garden any more.

My OH isn't really into goats or country living in general, but said I could have her in our garden so it was amad rush to build her a shed and make a run and she came and lived with us.  By this time the (by now ex-) friend had sold the Tog as she didn't like keeping goats.

Whereabouts in Wales are you?
