Anglo Nubian Goat Society

Thanks to our friends over in Brazil for sending us these great pictures and a You Tube video of their Anglo Nubian goats. Looks like the goats rule the house over there. We love to hear about Nubians all over the world, so if you have a story or some pictures, we’d love to hear […]

The start of 2012 saw the launch of a new mineral product exclusively for goats from the Denis Brinicombe Group.

The Sun newspaper recently reported that GOATS, found wandering near to the busy A1 motorway in Birtley, caused a great deal of traffic disruption. Police were called to the A1 at Birtley after motorists spotted […]
