I have a smallholding where i have my beloved goats

Milly is an Alpine Goat very friendly, just had twin boys who we are keeping.

Molly is a Toggenburg, soft and gentle, due to go into have babies in october.

Then there is Polo and Rosie Mother and Daughter. polo is a 3 year old saanan and rosie is 15 months also a saanan, total trouble, would not have it anyother way,

I also keep chickens and muscovy ducks, Muscovies are the only meat eating ducks, by meat eating i mean Mice, Rats, anything up to a small rabbit they eat them live and whole. will not eat them dead.

So if anyone out there has a mouse problem, don't buy a cat buy a muscovy duck.
all the best maggie

Hello again

Rosie sounds just like our Nia - also british saanan - she's just over a year old. Escape artist and general imp :mrgreen:

We've also got Madeleine - another saanen who is in milk at the moment.

I love the idea of muscovies!!
