So after months of wondering, waiting, trekking up and down to the farm where the troublesome trio spend their days frolicking in the field, it turns out that our lovely four year old pygmy crossed with toggenburg goat Lily was just kidding all along.
We took her off to be serviced in November last year and have been keeping an eye out for signs of the impending pregnancy for the last few months as we didn’t know whether she would have been serviced by the billy goats early on or towards the end of her time away from home. We had been hoping to get Lily in kid, become proud parents with one or two beautiful baby goats running about in the midsummer sun and the opportunity to milk mother goat, potentially providing us with the main ingredient needed to make our own homemade goats cheese.
