Anyone keep goats?

We have a 'normal' goat called Rachel and a pygmy called Fudge Fudge is due to kid in the next 5 weeks

I can't wait until Fudge has hers!

Rachel is an older girl now, but she must be feeling the spring grass

I have two Pygmy goats called Dave and Wendy

They are a pain in the @rse but very entertaining!

Not sure I could cope with a kid, my two can get through the holes in stock fencing as it is, goodness knows what trouble a tiddler would be! Good luck to you!

Yes. Commercially though. I raise bucklings as stores. Down to just 33 kids currently, I do also have a Saanan wether called Goat, he has an HHO fanclub, and an Alpine doe who is brilliant and feeds any small babies that could do with real milk rather than formula. I love my goats

This is Goat and a couple of 10 day old friends.

I hope all goes well with Fudge's kidding, goats are usually excellent mothers.

we have two pygmy goats. very cute and funny but an absolute nightmare to keep in- they manage to break out of everywhere. We have really good fencing with wiring worked into it and buried under the ground (to protect chickens) and they still manage to escape.

Our goats are penned in with electric fence, but we need to section it off when Fudge is close to kidding until the little one is a bit bigger. Don't want to risk Rachel.hurting it! Also have another shed to set up.
