    Wow, love your explanation and care of the goats. In America we can buy any goat any time with no license or knowledge of their care. We register our farms if we want with the goverment. We do have to have a scrapies tag when changing owners is all. We have a Spanish goat breed that the goverment keeps track of for it's purity because they have good genetics. Thanks again for ur compassion of the lost breeds.❤

    Brilliant video. Well done. We have 12 goats just as pets, golden Guernsey, we started to breed them but during selling the kids the weirdos saw that we never had the horns removed (which i think should be banned) so we never sold any. After realising that we stopped breeding and kept them as pets, complete with horns. Never looked back. Fortunately we can afford it but it can be hard work sometimes especially in foul weather but you take the rough with the smooth. You didnt mention how bad the male goats smell 😂😂 unlike the wethers. We gave our male goat away to a breeder and crossed our fingers it would be looked after. Meanwhile our pet goats continue to live it up. Wasnt aware of a liquid for the mites i have to confess, im going to look out for some now, that would explain the walking along the wite fence pushing hard to scratch themselves, although no bald spots on any. Also we have a problem keeping in their eartags. A lot of our goat's have torn ears became they stick their heads in the wire fence and catch the tag. If i ever buy any new goats, which i doubt i will now at my age i would go for Anglo Nubian, its their long floppy ears i love about them. 😁

    Hello from Australia, I love 💕 your channel. I think your Father would be VERY proud of you and how you have managed his legacy. It is wonderful to see all of the conservation work you have done and are still doing. I also love Fran’s Friday talks. Today’s talk was excellent, a very clear introduction for anyone considering keeping goats. We live in suburbia so it’s not possible for us. However, they are such friendly gregarious creatures that I would love to have some! Thanks for today’s video, it’s always fun to see around your farm. 😀🦘🐨🇦🇺

    Do any of your farmparks have English goats? I'm interesting in starting a small herd of rare breed goats for cheesemaking, and as much as I adore the bagots I don't think they produce enough for that sort of venture.

    We don't have any English or Old English Goats unfortunately, we do however have a strong Golden Guernsey breeding programme. They're great for milk production. If you'd like either of the English breeds, we'd advise contacting the RBST, who can put you in contact with reputable farmers/breeders. 👍

    Many people are buying farmland in countries where prices are still low, such as in Portugal, plenty of land for sale for less than 1 Euro per square meter. Check these KZread videos: "Alex Farms Off Grid" and "Farmer for Fun" as examples of what's available. You may also be able to rent land very cheaply, there's a lot of abandoned farmland in Portugal, owners would be pleased to rent it to anyone wanting to farm. My family has some.
