I wonder if they all know just how lucky they are to have you as their goat mummy. They look lovely, always wanted goats, but never got them and feel I am too old now, but hey ho I can watch yours so not all bad.

They are delightful!!!

Bella and Aysun have settled in really well and Beau (the main man) is rather taken with them so hopefully we'll have some newbies in the spring.

Bobby well he is the loveliest little bod

I mean seriously he is the loveliest little goat...irresistible..he is vertically challenged but nobody told him he wasn't in charge :-D

They are very relaxing...they're gentler than the sheep generally although you do have to watch their horns because they are happy to use them on each other and god forbid if you're in the way!

I'm a definite fan )grin2(

They are and the fleece is great because if you don't want to spin it yourself it gets a good price even at a minimum...mohair is still well sought after.

Came in from work this afternoon and went to see my goat friends ...

My little Bobby was in his hut but he was gone. He hasn't been with us long but Oh my he's burrowed his way into my heart.
I am gong to miss that little bod sooooo much....he had just got such lovely feet and was hopping about on them (he had had such problems with his feet) and now he's gone {cry}

Oh Manda I am so sorry for your loss. It must have been awfull for you to find him gone so suddenly. I don't know where little goats go, but I hope his is there now and his feet are a problem no more. Bless him, he looked such a sweet boy {hug} {hug}
