Are you sure you haven't got the tree icon on your ipad saasher? At the top of the reply box there is the smiley face & two along to the right  is the green tree icon. Next to something that looks like a piece of film.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.  When I was a child my grandad had a goat, and it pinched my hat from my head and took and big chunk out of it. I think I was about four at the time, didn't put me off them though.  I like the pygmy goats.

[saasher2012]

Lovely aren't they, very friendly & naughty, I used to keep them for milk to feed the Cade lambs, before we got so many lambs!

[chickengrandma-2008]

Oh yes, we had pygmy goats too.  I loved them but we had to get rid when the foot and mouth was around.  We also had a lovely cow, Rosie.  We'd had her since she was bought at the matkey for coppers.  A skinny day old thing with the runs!!  She grew into an enormous and friendly cow, but she was over 18 months old so had to be slaughtered.  

[saasher2012]

Yes it was very sad! Were you in the infected three mile area?
We were lucky here & had several lots of Yorkshire sheep down on winter sheep keep & were able to send them back home after the all clear, yep very bad times indeed!

[captainbovine]

do you mean that because she was 18mths old and there was foot and mouth she had to go? or do you mean all coo's over 18mths have to go

[saasher2012]

I'm afraid cows have to go CB, but don't worry we are keeping quiet about you! lol.

[captainbovine]

OMG!!!!!!!!! I'm gutted! ooooh I never knew that, I thought you could keep them if they were dairy until they lost production of milk.

thanks Sam....don't tell ANYONE how old I am....gawd .....
