Yes, more additons to my menagerie. Two nannies, and an entire billy will be joining us. Got a long journey there and back, but never mind. Not seen them in the flesh. Usual story, novice goat people, cannot cope, nannies now in kid, owner panics and wants rid. Like I said to them, why get an entire billy if you do not know what you are doing. Whats more they are in a normal sized garden
Got plenty of land here, just short of housing, so having to sort a temporary shelter for them.
Also just bought a British Alpine billy and a white nanny to start my goat breeding off again. Obviously will be kept separate from pygmy billy ......although I can imagine some people would not think of the consequences of doing just that.
So menagerie has expanded even further!!
But it has amazed me that upon enquiring, none of the goats have ear tags, one does not even have a CPC number. I have told them all that I am not collecting the goats until they are registered with DEFRA and ear tagged. They all said they thought it ok to keep goats without tags. One of the people has only had his goats a couple of weeks, so someone has sold them to HIM and not bothered about rules. I can imagine they are not the only ones though.
