This little cutie wanted to tell you how well the boys have done and the exciting news of the baby’s that will be arriving.

The results are as follows-

First time kidders:

2 - Empty (to rescan)
4 - Singles
12 - Twins
1 - Triplet

Milking Girls-

No one Empty
3 - Singles
20 - Twins
4 - Triplets

So that means all going well we will have 86 kids on the ground however we will sadly loose a couple due to nature and things out of our control but we are very excited to welcome the new bundles of joy in the beginning of January 😻

If your looking to have a goat or two we will have a limited selection of bottle fed nanny kids available and all our castrated boys will be available so PM us and we can keep you posted and pop you on a first come first served list so no one is disappointed ☺️

Happy Girls in a fresh bed with fresh food- this is no easy journey but we are pushing through and hoping for the light to shine through soon.

It’s sadly taken a lot more time and finances to get where we need to be but hopefully not too far now!

We are totally smitten with our very nearly completed parlour!! Only electricity to install fully and the tanks to plumb in and we are able to GO GO GO…. HOWEVER because my dad is the best he has made it so we can milk in there to make things a bit easier for us soooooo ladies and gents we have lift off for the last two night we have been milking in the parlour 😻😻😻 We are totally in our element, I may add the girls have added entertainment value learning how to use it properly but it’s getting there 🤦‍♂️😂
