Who was up to mischief
« on: February 11, 2010, 05:10:36 pm »
Bobby the billy thats who.  Let him out in the small pen this afternoon and he did his usual trick of escaping and  going in the orchard.  Only ate the brambles, which I don't mind. You shake a  feed bucket and he is back like a shot!!

There is nothing wrong with your goats, goats are mischievous and nosey and think its fun to escape.

Bobby is a long haired pygmy - his back legs are so hairy, he looks like he is wearing black and white wellies.  Funny enough, his daughter from last year, and son from this year do not look at all hairy.  In fact, this years kid does not look like him at all, being brown.  Will try and post a pic of the little un.

I think Bobby is rather wide to be a bagot?  He is very small, and the kids by him are pygmy sized too.  But, he does look similar to the pic you posted of the one for sale!

Speaking of which, since nobody offered an intact Doyle a home, he is due to be emasculated so he can roam with the herd again, without clashing horns with the resident billy (hopefully!)
