I disagree Mojocafa. Sheep were definitely for us, but they've gone by me several times tonight. Actually they also went around me and even over me at one point  ;) .

Have fun Bloomer - it's nice to see the next chapter of your adventure unfolding!

Goats smell and eat pretty much anything except what you want them to, from what I heard.  Get Mrs B thinking about a wee Jersey house coo or else put a couple ewes in the bottom of the garden and go for sheep milk products ;)  Sounds like Womble may be interested in rehoming sheep so you could even pop them in your packing cases when you're passing with the removal lorry ;)

There's a big Blackface in the field next door who looks just like a giant footstool.  I can see if the farmer will do a deal with you if you like Bloomer?

Bloomer if you lived near me you would be welcome to put a couple of sheep in with mine,  :fc:  That you find some land close to where you are moving, just do what I did and bug the hell out of the nearest farmer so that he will do anything to get rid of you ;D

I hope all goes well. Congrats! :wave:
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

I can't believe that on a small holding forum, there are actually still people that believe that all goats smell and that they eat anything! If they ate anything, I wouldn't have such a big feed bill! Bloomer knows which goats smell  ;)

Back on topic, very glad to hear the news, and yes I agree, goats don't need a lot of room....

They maybe don't need mush room, but they jump things!  I'd love some goats but they'd get over my fence!   :'( :'(
