Starting early...wanted British toggenburg 2013 billy kid
« on: February 03, 2013, 09:14:05 pm »
We have two pedigree British toggenburg nannies currently in kid to a boar billy, however we are keen to breed pure toggenburg in the future but have to date failed to find a local stud billy, so OH has suggested getting our own. Would like to get a kid as not having had a billy before would like to get to know him from an early age, also our girls are dis-budded so would need our new boy to be de-horned as a baby. so starting to look in good time.


Don't mind bottle rearing or at weaning, I work at a vets so am happy to take on the disbudding and then bottle rear, will have other kids and lambs (hopefully  :fc: ) so will have plenty of company.


Thank you for reading and hope someone can help.
