Sorry to barge in with advice but maybe get female goats..
We had 2 males, one castrated and one not - their favourite past time was headbutting things until they destroyed them, we went through numerous huts with them.
Also boys urinate on their beards as a way of attracting females and it stinks to high heaven and you cant get rid of it easily:eek:0 -
Thanks Elephant!
We went from goats to donkeys and then to a small pony...
Crazy busy Saturday with a more chilled Sunday - mostly washing. Finding it hard to dry it with no aga and no TD.

What?! You are moving on again? Well, congratulations m'dear. And huge apologies for missing/ reading and immediately forgetting about it. Details, please.
As someone who has been in her post for 15 years now (supply to permanent contract , from part-time up to full time and HOD and back to part-time) I find your wanderlust both exciting and downright frightening!NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
I am. Gaining back 5 hours a week from the commuting time.
It turns out the parental parents ( our childcare ) want all of June off. This new job allows us to say "no problem" to that, if I wasn't moving we'd be screwed since breakfast club doesn't start 'til 8, I would never be at work on time.0
