Hi Laura, Thanks for your comments, I try to be a little helpful to others . I always remember the help I recieved( and continue to recieve ), I see equestrian knowledge as collective and part of increasing that knowledge is sharing. Andrew Mclean is also one of my , what's the right word, not idol , mentor perhaps? I am planing to spend a week at his place with a couple of my horses in the spring. Should be interesting. Cheers Geoffrey .

drinking goats milk??? ... Meeeee????
Ewwwwwwww .... Nooooooo Possible Waaaaaay!!!
I used the goats milk to mix 1/2 and 1/2 with powdered milk replacer, to feed baby "bucket" calves.
I had two VERY gentle "hornless" nanny goats, who had lovely soft personalities ...
... and thinking about it ... I don't recall that "They" had any sort of "un-attractive" smell.
But I have 'smelled" that Really Awful smell that billy goats have about them (not to mention their destructive disgusting behavior!!! ) … which I “think” is what gives ALL goats such a bad reputation.
...lol ... I don’t really know ….*shrugs* …I’m certainly NO expert on goats!!
