Well unless you convince me otherwise when I come visit to discus all things goaty, I love AN's so probably some of them, I have time to plan as there is no way financially we will be putting in the shed for them till late autumn/early spring! Once we finish settling in I'll arrange to come see some goats!!!

Visiting some is fatal. Just ask Beeducked whose OH holds me partly responsible for her getting goats.  :innocent:

Oh I know, I visited balingall when we moved here and see her at smallholder shows etc, I like goats but my wife fell in love with them as did my kids, we had the conversation about what happens to boy babies and whilst none of them were happy they accepted it! They all clearly want goats a lot! Been looking at prices for sheds and have a plan for the spring :-)

Oooh, can I come too Bloomer?  :)   Mrs Womble won't let me have goats, but that doesn't mean I don't like them!  ;D

If its ok with beth I'm sure a goat awareness session sounds like a plan!

From where the goats will be 50 yards but through woodland and down a steep slope, no line of site so all sound should deflect away, nearest neighbour with line of site, couuple of miles!

It certainly is and I was pretty sure that I didn't really like or want goats! I now have 4 including 2 milkers and more milk that I know what to do with. :yum:
