Love it tizaala! Must try that. If I'm not watching I find my billy escorting me out of the field with his head wedged up my bum. I'm just the wrong height cos if he drops his head and pushes it goes straight between my legs and I damn near end up on his back!


Just wondering how much to tell my poor house sitter who is staying at half term! She's never looked after goats before  :roflanim:

Last day or two mine are smelling really bad now .....trying to impress the ladies I think!!  Even the young intact males have a slight smell.  I can usually stand the smell, but have to say its even affecting me!!¬

Perhaps your problem is that they are inside in a stable - if in a field with shelter smell wouldn't be so bad.  Our bucks are out with the girls - and yes they do smell and it lingers on clothes and hands but doesn't make the environment unpleasant as fresh air.
