Jerry's other (better?) half

Hello,

I thought I had better jump on the bandwagon too as I get to look at these sheep all day long, so I had better find out a bit about looking after them!

Jerry has introduced himself below, so I won't repeat everything he has already said.

It's been a bit of a shock to the system moving to a semi rural location, especially being stuck at home with two small kids. Still, it's nice not having neighbours peering into your windows from two feet away - although I would love a footpath along the road. Definitely getting used to it though!

We only have the six sheep for now, but hopefully we will keep a couple of next years lambs to increase the flock. Would definitely like some chooks at some point, maybe in a years time. I would love a donkey or a goat, but Jerry won't let me...

Welcome to the site, Margo

I can sympathise with your statement about the goats and the donkeys. I'm not allowed pigs either [!] even though I only want them for the freezer, not forever! And there is a distinct lack of enthusiasm for my growing flock of chooks as well [}]

Welcome Margot... I'm sure with your alter-ego's infamous powers of persuasion [] goats and donkeys will be in your future

Have either of your ever been to a property with goats and/or donkeys. I've introduced several "non goat" people to my goats, and converted them on the spot with very little effort

Welcome margot - buy gerry a goat for christmas - what can he say then? 'just what I always wanted!' LOL

Welcome Margo
go for the goat ... smaller than a donkey , cheaper to feed .. depending on the goat, also harder to keep inside the correct fences lol ... worth all the effort though as they all have personalities and are super smart

LOL TKP .. great idea lol and as in the TV couple , jerry would never dare send back Margo's xmas pressent

Or better yet, goats[8D] - a goat on its own will always be looking for company, and that's not good. Goats need friends, and once you see goats in a herd (or with other animals) you'll understand why.

Oh, did we mention goats are quite easy to get addicted to? []

very easy to PG... lol thats why i cant part witht the 2 i have now ... and will even de-kancker baby E B,,, in the hope that it keeps him in more than his oldman lol

Oh and Rosie the Dexter cow , now thinks she is a goat ... as E B is jet black like her , so she thinks E B is her calf ... and does lots of baby sitting duties lol

What you need to get him is a pigalet! Now umm... where could you get one of those????

Yes goats are very addictive as are ducks:))
