"Kept looking on preloved, but nothing comes up in 50 miles radius really  :( "  Tell me about it I've been looking for over a year and the only goats of the type I'm looking for are on Done Deal in Ireland!...most frustrating!

Actually quality goats of any breed are now few and far between - I recently did a 760mile round trip  to collect a billy kid. And getting my BT girls mated is usually a 300mile round trip too... all in one day! If you want quality you have to travel nowadays...

Yes I can agree, but if I would travel that far I would do it to pick up more than only one goat (and maybe some horses, good and not expensive are in Yorkshire!)

If You DO come to Yorkshire, I have a male and a female Toggs, I think Billyboys mum would happily wave goobye to him now  ;D .
