That s just awful. This job surley to goodness hasn't just miraculously appeared - surely they knew all along? Are the boys disbudded?

I know, they are not de budded but been they have never caused any problems - my two children handled them beautifully.  They are so tame they came in the house! She just called and they are all shut in and she wants them gone asap also because her pony has laminitis and needs their paddock!!

they are lucky to have someone as caring as you in their lives PP. poor things, being shut in. Like James said, the job must have been in the pipeline for some time so this all should have been thought through properly by the people who took your goats. it all sounds painfully like someone buying goats as a whim and not looking into it thoroughly first  >:(
sorry, am in rant mode today. must get off soapbox!!

Yes sorry to hear. I hope you have them back now and they are happier.

Why people don't think of any potential problems before they get animals I will never know!

They are home, very quiet but at least they back out in the open now so they should pick up soon.  She gave me some money for them last week - not a lot - and after I travelled a two and a half hour round trip to pick them up and I delivered them - she then asked me for a refund!!!! Oh how I laughed!!  :goat:

That's what my hubby said, not quite sure what was going on really.  Is it a 6 day standstill for goats? She had them for 6 clear days then wanted to resell them, I told her I hadn't completed the movement papers so she was not registered keeper so couldn't resell them. Wondering if she did buy them to make money??   ???
