Romeo began to continuously escape and I had many stressful days with him. Iris was becoming very impatient with us and I don’t blame her. He was restless and not happy without the girls to keep him busy. I decided to put him up for sale. He was snapped up by a lovely lady who already has a herd of mixed goats. The day we delivered him was a good day. I needed to see where he would be and that he would be well looked after. I visited a few days later and he didn’t even realise I was there. He was acutely aware of the females around him that were in season and he was kept busy. I was satisfied he was in the best place for him. The fences were good and the company better. I got back into my car and sighed with relief. The baby boys at home would be okay for a while and then the nonsense started again. This time it was easier for me to advertise them and again I did the deliveries to see where they would be going to live. Both were good homes and they had lots of company for them. That day I honestly can say was a good day. Goodbye to goats for now and I never looked back. I’m grateful for every ounce of learning I had and the experience of breeding but I’m even happier that the goat chapter is now closed. Will I get more someday – who knows? Time will tell.
