Sorry JJ, I was just commenting they were advertised as pedigree Toggenburgs but they look like British Toggenburgs. I hope that anyone who's wanting a Togg will know the difference.
Plums - Maybe it's time I joined the facebook thingy, curious about the Toggenburg breeders page
(someone once invited me on and I started getting allsorts of odd junk mail, deleted myself

)

I don't get junk mail from facebook.what privacy settings did you use?I think most of the groups are closed groups anyway.I find FB quicker than forums

I got my Eli (bt wether now!) from a dairy farm in great ellingham. You never know they may sell you one early next year if you raise it.....

not ignoring you, comp crashed while I was answering, not been here since.
It's quite a while since I was on FB, so I can't remember, I didn't find out about privacy settings untill I'd gone, it does seem as though everything is on FB now, so I should look at it again.
local group sent me an 'invite' so I might follow that up.

Oh I was away from here for sometime lol... Preparing a new place for our smallholding for next year, so one leg in UK, one leg on the continent, total madness!

Well, I found this: http://www.farmingads.co.uk/milking-goats-and-young-stock/Livestock/281871 but I'm too late, all the not castrated boys are gone!

In the meantime, my alpine kid died suddenly so I'm left with no male here and getting a bit desperate - where would I find BT billy to serve 3 females?...

are your goats CAE tested i should think most breeders will require a current certificate.

my parents have two BT males but are no longer at public stud. i will ask if they know of anyone that has males at stud.

if you are wanting to buy a BT male kid best to get your order in early else any un ordered males are banded or PTS.

BTW how far are you willing to travel ?
