I think they're a lovely breed - although lovliness may not be the best reason for buying a goat.

They're supposed to be tasty too, a gooder reason in my book.

That was my thinking too! Plus, unlike sheep, no fly strike, another major plus. I've been to see some in Wales, we are in Oxford, and know there are breeders dotted all over the place but just wondered if anybody here had any practical experience with them. Breeders are, by the nature of things, always enthusiastic about their breed, so sometimes gloss over difficulties. No criticism intended here, I do it myself!
