It's official, I am now a goat-keeper. I picked up the two nannies on the right last night, about 3 months old.

Congratulations - they look wonderful! I take in abandoned goats and try to find homes for them, but two billies seem to be part of the fixtures and fittings now. Good luck with the nannies - are you hoping to milk eventually?

Are they Nubians and what can you do with them?

Curry, kebabs, sausages... (Sorry)

I do like goats, we haven't got room for them. I keep trying to persuade my MIL to keep a couple but she doesn't seem keen for some reason.

The wife's got a yearning for some, they are lovely, might try some next year. They'll be OK in with sheep won't they?
