Pygmy Goats?

[MillionDollar]

I really didn't know where to put this. We'd like 2 pygmy goats, definitely not billies though, does anyone know where we can get them?

Have you tried the breed societies ? I know someone local to me (Norfolk) who breeds and shows them, but this is probably miles from you?

Not an answer to your question... There were 2 pigmy goats on a previous yard, lovely things but the biggest pain in the ass on a yard. They were forever getting into feed bins, tack rooms, couldnt feed a horse outside as they would get their heads in the bowl. They used to butt huge holes in shavings bags. Always under the horses feet, even running into the school when people were riding in it!! bloody nuisance.... rant over lol

If you're desperate, I can kidnap the 4 bloody goats that live in/outside the fields on my favourite hack. They are most often seen glaring malevolently at passers by from a grass verge. And once I had a really exciting experience when the OWNER of said goats accosted me in my car and asked for a lift to try to CATCH said goats. My mother told me never to give lifts to strange men but he'd already got in the car! My ned believes these creatures have beamed up straight from hell itself and he snorts and does fabulous canter half passes in the middle of the road whenever he spots them. Or spins for home. It gives me palpitations. The goats aren't pygmies but I could boil wash them first and see if they shrink???

BE WARNED !
We had 2 Pygmy goats and although I loved them they ate EVERYTHING including all the trim on our trailer, stripped the paint off the stable walls, ransacked the feed room whenever the door was opened and particularly enjoyed chewing Stubben bridles !!!
They had a free run of the yard so I could have penned them in somewhere but thought it was unfair so re-homed them at a petting zoo instead.

You may have to drive, but look in google for a site for devon and somerset smallholders association. D.A.S.H.
They have lots of ads for pygmy goats and you will find them there. otherwise adtrader...
(you're mad, the last lot must have been freaks of nature if they were well mannered..read everyone else's experiences!)

My brother-in-law breeds and shows Pigmy goats, but he is right down in the furthest depths of Cornwall so may be too far for you to travel. They are very cute and I keep trying to convince my OH we NEED goats - he sais not
