Relaxed Farming Our offspring... (as told by Cheddar). This is where I get to tell you all about our kids, you're all going to want one (or two) by the time I've finished...

  • Goat kids are VERY high on the 'cute factor' scale: this is because of how they look, how they love to play and how they pose (just look at these photos...).

    Responsible owners won't allow their female goats to breed until they are at least 18 months old, as by that stage we are pretty much fully grown.

    The main reason owners like us to breed is so that once our kids have been weaned or sold, we can then be milked. This is fine by us, we get extra food that way and when we are milked here on the Relaxed smallholding we get to listen to Classic FM!!! Sooo lucky!
