  • Bye Babies

    We’ve bid a fond farewell to this year’s goat kids this week. Lovely though goats are, I was finding that I had too many to manage alone when it came to walking them. So the kids, along with some of the adults, have been rehomed elsewhere and I’ll be concentrating on a smaller group for more »

  • Last Kid of the Season

    Just when we thought that kidding for the season was complete, I realised that Kylie too was pregnant, and yesterday she presented us with our last kid of the season. So since January we’ve had a total of ten born, half girls and half boys. We’ve sadly lost one (Misty’s, which was an assisted birth). more »

  • Pygmy Goats For Sale

  • In the Kitchen: Cheese Pie

  • Miserable Afternoon

    It’s a miserable afternoon here (yup, it happens, even in glorious Portugal!). What we need is a cute goat kid photo to cheer us all up!

  • Schneckle

    Apparently it means something like ‘cutie’ in German*, but it’s also the name of our latest goat. Schneckle recently joined us because she was lonely as an only goat, and is settling in well with our little herd. She’s standing her ground quite effectively, struggling only with Beyonce who has turned into the beastgoat from more »

  • Whilst I was out …
