Hi Wytsend - I've seen your stud list in the Cornwall Goatkeepers newsletter and would be very interested for next season. I'm in West Cornwall and don't yet have suitable transport for a visit this year - only access to a very large sheep trailer! Also, she might not have her CAE testing up to date, depending on if the current owner has time before bringing her over. Although she was tested last year.
Hi Anke - I've dithered about putting the Saanen in kid this year, she's very well grown (actually she's just drop-dead gorgeous!) but I'm without suitable transport just yet. The previous owner hasn't been able to stop her producing milk so I'd like to make sure she's getting the right balance of food and also make the most of the opportunity to milk her.
The GG kid had an upset tummy after coming down from Norfolk, so she's lost some condition, nothing drastic, but she's been wormed and is on the calf mix and I'd like to continue with a good quality feed. The red Rockies I'll definitely use and I was also considering the Brinicombes that Wytsend mentioned in the other thread.
