Today, three more adult females made the long journey from Devon to Derbyshire .....Wytsend Cherry, Dinah and Minnie, to live with the other Anglo Nubian females, and potential boyfriend, Wytsend Darren!!
I was expecting Wytsend Bramble to kid - she was due today. Thought they may have arrived last night, but no. No sign this morning, she was out grazing/ Darted over when I threw some branches in for the females. Ten minutes later I heard such a racket. Alyce was at the gate yelling at me with some urgency. I followed her over to the goat arks and there were two kids and a third on the way. Quickly checked them over, and cleaned their mouths and noses, and wondered if there were any more to come, then the courier arrived with the 3 goats, so had to go and unload those. Kept dashing back to check, but no more kids.
So, my herd has increased dramatically today
Husband was horrified when he rang to ask if the goats had arrived and I said yes ......plus three kids!!!!
