Meet the girls!
« on: June 24, 2012, 11:25:14 pm »
My Golden Guernseys Girls (Goats). Starting to settle in. I know a bit about horse/dog/cat psychology, but goat psychology is a whole new ballgame!

They are lovely!!  A man in our village used to have a GG and I always admired it.  What are their names?

There names are Vinnie, Toffee and Amber, not that they respond to their names - its cabbage and brown bread that gets them coming.  I've used alapaca hurdles for temporary pen until we do the permanent fencing, then intention is to use the hurdles in different locations for browsing.

They must climb on everything because their food is usually on a ledge just out of reach..its instinct ;)

They look really great, such lovely goats, I've always fancied some but have some bagots in the pipeline... good luck with your little golden girlies.
