I've pm'd you Dan!!

Who else is going when??

[jameslindsay]

Lee - I am going on Thursday, let's hope the weather is better than it is today! Did you get homes for your gorgeous boys?

I understand the priority for issuing badges to the Scottish fraternity...but please don't forget the outlying members and us Sassenachs  when you reorder...hope you all have a great show and manage to 'spot' each other amongst the crowds...there should be a prize for the person who spots the most...signatures required as proof, no guessing who's likely to be there!

James - No homes as yet!!

The sad news is that their mum dropped dead yesterday!, absolutely no reason for it! I was gutted, she was a gorgeous saanen and such a great mother to her kids and the pet lambs that she adopted.

Fortunately, my other goats have fostered them at the moment( albeit with a wee bit persuasion, and feeding), so if I get them to take them for a week or two then they'll be fine!
Fingers crossed!!!

[jameslindsay]

Oh Lee that is just awful, I am so sorry. That is one of the reasons I have always been warey of breeding - just incase something went wrong, I wish you luck with the kids and fingers crossed you have nothing but success from now on.

Thanks James

They all seem fine just now, but its always sad when you lose a pal!!!

Thankfully they are all together, so I'm optimistic for them.

James my condolences, its very, very hard.

James,

I also send my condolences, it happened to us just 3 days ago too.  We had a calf that was quite weak born 3 months ago, she was constantly battling something or other.  I had requested my OH to get the vet to put her down but the vet said that he has seen worse making a complete recovery and we can keep an eye on her to see how she gets on.  Put her out when the weather got better and had really high hopes for her, she really picked up and was bright, but low and behold on Tuesday evening a half an hour after my OH had checked her I found her dead in the field  .  It was heartbreaking as I thought she would come out of it.  Don't think I will ever get used to it.  But as I have heard:- where there is live stock there will also be dead stock. 

Hope the kids gets on fine.  Take care, Kerrygirl

[jameslindsay]

Sorry folks it's Ukag0972 -Lee that suffered the loss of her goat - not me. I'm sure she appreciates all your best wishes anyhow.

Any death is horrible, but an unexpected death particularly so - I suppose that's the downside for all the other wonderful times we spend with our animals!

Rotten luck, Lee.

Badges will be posted on Monday first class. Photos of folk wearing their badges woudl be good. Maybe there should be a prize for the most novel way of wearing it. Or maybe not.

How much for the badges, Rosemary?  And what are they made of?

[Hilarysmum]

Hope the French contingent can do this as well - not that we have a Royal or anything like, perhaps we could improvise and substitute the  LACEF weekend in August
