What breed have you in mind, Langdon? Seem lots of goat owners in Wales, so got to be some intact billies around

havent really taken that in to consideration roxy, im just hoping to find one close by!
now that im here im going to pick your brains once more.
you know that milly is not a pure toggie, we noticed that there is alot of white coming through
her coat.
what can this be? what ever other breed she is crossed with?
cant be ol age!
hope all is well.

Is Millie the one with the long ears or is that Molly? Are you going to breed from both? Really need to stagger the breeding (one this year, one next) so you have milk pretty much contast.

A lot of goats which are x breed have sanaan in them, which are the white ones. So, that could be the white, coming through when the coats change from summer to winter.

A lady wanted to buy Poppy and Primrose my two white kids - she thought they were pure bred Sanaans but they are not. Mum was a sanaan, but dad was a big British Alpine - black with a white stripy face and white legs. I was very honest and told her the truth (but she still wanted them!) So, if I breed from them, they could have kids the colour of their dad, or patched black and white (have had one that colour before now!)

milly is the one with long ears!
thanks for advicing us to just mate one at a time!
makes that easier for us, seems hopefully that milly may have a sannen in her.
i like the black and white ' bagort, or something, im embarresed as i love these. you gt them as pigmy dont know about domestic.

you mean like me...

?!

Cesar is my registered pedigree Bagot billy goat.
they are bigger than pygmies... but not much! kind of the next size up!

proper mountain-type goats, and quite rare.
there is a bagot club website (but I make no comment on its usefullness ) I can ask my friend if any of hers went to Pembroke area if you like

there is also info on the Rare Breed Survival trust site.

If you and the girl goat want a holiday in Derbyshire, you're very welcome...

he is gorgeous little blue!! is he Max's dad? I think you might have a queue for him - Savannah is looking for a boyfriend this autumn too!!

little blue · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2010, 09:01:01 pm »

yes, he's Max's dad... can't you just tell ?!

I would absolutely insist on CAE test certificates, and a general health screen.... Bagot are "critical" on the RBST register, so he's valuable in so many ways..

plumseverywhere · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2010, 09:03:51 pm »

I don't blame you!! I can see Max in him (or vice versa?!) from the pics

they have some Bagot's at honeybourne (the fowl trust) but they look nothing like yours - he's positively glam!

little blue · « **Reply #13 on:** August 07, 2010, 09:05:43 pm »

poser for the camera!
he's actually incredibly shy of people... and was pretty terrified when he saw our girls for the first time!
big wuss.... he's slightly calmer since Max came along, probably jealous of the attention the baby gets

we are in tenby south wales.
one of them molly when she was dissbudded it was done wrong resulting in scurs ( this was done from where we bought them )
milly has no horns and no horn regrowth.
i am getting milly tested for cae as she is going to be first to be taken to a stud.
