Langdon all the goats are doing well I am pleased to report, no more worries with them. One of my BT boys was a year old yesterday and tomorrow his pal and one of my GG girls will be 1 year old too, so it is 1 birthday party after the other this week, ha ha.

I have no idea how you would weigh a goat - or would want to! :goat: The 2 BT boys I got from Beth and we bottle fed them and they are ever so tame, friendly and chheky.
