Anglo-Nubian Goats
Helen had always wanted to have some goats so with our knowledge growing it was time to set about achieving this goal. Initially pygmy goats were on the cards but the more we found out, the less convinced she was. Cute-looking little things they may be, but apparently full of attitude and constantly trying to escape. We were looking for something altogether more chilled out and friendly, and Anglo-Nubians seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
Just before lambing we picked up a nanny and wether kid from a herd in Cheshire and they settled in with us, in a pen in the tractor shed until they had got to know us and overcome the disruption of being weaned. Basil and Sorrel are now living their best life out in the field with the converted horse box to shelter in whenever they need.
