One of our priorities for this winter was to get a new Saanen billy goat. We were also after a new milking goat. We found a farm in North Yorkshire where a good milker was on sale. And when we got there, we found they also had for sale a Saanen billy. We bought both. Well worth the 200 mile round trip to get them and bring them back to our farm. We have called the billy Parker and the nanny is named Penelope (okay I am a fan of Thunderbirds!)
Parker was taken to the spare paddock and we put in with him Florence and Agnes. He hit it off with Agnes straightaway. Penelope was gone in with the other nannies. We is giving us 2-3 litres of milk a day. We now have enough milk to make a good quantity of cheese.
