Welcome from another Clackie. Ducks, chickens, dogs and a cat, with a few veg if I can get motivated this year.

next season will be putting, our billy up for stud, I am sure he will be very happy when we tell him. He is very enthusiastic, quite friendly, has his moments certain times of the year, but is very amusing, so if there any female goats in suffolk and norfolk, Mr.Bertie Basset will be available, next august.   :goat:

hi to you all and many thanks for the warm welcome on this very cold day, here in snowy suffolk, unfortunatlly, we are not milking at mo, our nanny died quite suddenly, in october, so we are having to buy milk, which is a bit of a chore, until our other nanny gives birth in march.

Hi there,

We are in central Scotland, with the usual ducks, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbit and guinea pigs. But we also have some goats- 6 female Anglo-Nubians, and a male, plus a British Alpine female, 5 British Toggenburg females, and a few AOV's (2 British Saanen type, and 1 BT type). That currently makes 16 altogether, with 1 milking, and 8 pregnant (eeek!).
