Molly goat
« on: February 11, 2015, 02:44:34 pm »
has this week become a mother, grandmother and great grandmother!!  I said last year when she had twins that would be her last - but yesterday she had a lovely little female, and is as usual when she has kids, over the moon to have a little one to fuss over.

I will be putting some goats up for sale - as I really do need to get my numbers down again

How fantastic  :excited:


Please don't advertise a spotty girl or I may put my marriage in peril with requests for another goat  ;D

You're too kind - on second thoughts who need a husband - goats are soo much better  ;D

Well my other half has just taken a couple of days of his annual leave to finish off the extension of the goatshed to accommodate my new maternity wing.... husbands do have SOME use... (and I love him for it!)

I do have a very nice brown and white coloured female - Anglo Nubian, 10 months old.  Also AN who is very light brown, and looks almost white - could I tempt someone maybe?

Ditto! And yes, you definatley can tempt and I love my AN's. Not sure you would want to trust any of your goats to me though at the moment. Still a bit stunned to find that my AN I was convinced has cloudburst as she has not been mated this year (or so I thought) is carrying twins!

Kate, I know what you're like when you look at ANs. I'll be round to visit your six goats soon.  :roflanim:

I know! I can resist anything except temptation! :excited:  Of course I may be about to have more goats than I planned on but don't think it is possible to have too many goats! Blossom has somewhat foiled my plan to get her into kid to another AN this autumn but sure they will be gorgeous whatever they are.
