Most of our big Anglo Nubians have had one season, and the little dairy goats numerous - the tiny pygmy girl has been yelling the loudest - no bigger than a little dog, and she has the loudest voice.
Darren will be joining the girls just after bonfire night - we are 1000ft up here, and do not want kids too early.
Last week, one of the small dairy goats legged it from the field. Got under two fences (or over maybe). I had a suspicion of her whereabouts, and two fields away is where I found here .....hanging over Darrens half door. I did explain as I pulled a reluctant Molly back to her own stable, that breeding with a large Anglo Nubian is a no no.......never under estimate a female goats ability to find a male!!!
