GOAT SITTING IN RETURN FOR MILK AYRSHIRE
« on: March 05, 2012, 03:54:30 pm »
I`ve been milking goats off and on for 30 years and am happy to goat sit if anyone wants leave their goat with me for a holiday, weekend away or night out, depending on how far away you are. Happy to take goats in return for milk.

Hi, that sounds like a great idea, but wouldn't the 13 day standstill in Scotland make it impossible to bring goats to you for anything less than two weeks?

I am also not sure what the legal position would be re (unpasteurised) milk from a goat not in your ownership for human consumption.... just wouldn't want to have trading standards coming down like a ton of bricks on you....
