We started to keep goats in 2012, with two  six week old French Alpine kids.

Maisie is brown with a black stripe down her back and Tilly is black and white.

Here  is John with Tilly at four weeks old.
Baby goats are quite irresistible especially when they are young.

And here she is again.

Tilly has grown up to be the most mischievous of the two Alpines!
