We have moved our goats from our Nearside allotment to our farm. The Whinnies Community Garden, from whom we rent our two allotments, have revised the rules (for insurance purposes) on keeping livestock on the site. No goats can be kept there. We kept some of our goats on the Nearside when they were needing extra attention, such as when they were expecting but the entire livestock setup is now on our farm. The problem now is that we had a runaway surge of nettles growing across the Nearside. I've spent the last few days stripping out the nettles and leaving them to dry out. This nettle hay proved to be very popular with the goats.
