Madelaine, the pygmy nannie is due to kid but seems to be holding on as long as possible....she is very large! I would just like to get it over with as it is getting late to be having kids. We will have to take them from her after 4 days & bottle feed them which is alot of extra work,but if we didnt they would be wild as Madelaine would not let us near them! Fortunately, she does get bored with her kids quite quickly anyway & will not be too bothered.
The other kids are growing well.....two Nubians & one Alpine; the two billys were killed last week as i could not manage to sell them. It is really sad but unfortunately there is only one other option & that is to kill them at birth which i find too difficult; atleast this way they have a few months of life & are very well looked after during that time. I always hope someone will want to buy one but then you can never be sure if they will look after it.
Madelaine with her kids last year!
Looking forward to a couple of shows soon: Brecon in August & Usk in September; Talybont is a farely local show at the end of August so we will probably go there with goats & poultry.
