Anyone here from CT?

i REALLY WOULD LIKE TO MEET SOME GOAT PEOPLE IN ct. I would love to have a milking Nubian,
I have so many questions, But its so hard to find any body. The #'s Of pople that I did find they never got back to me! I would like a quality animal, so I don't want to go to the auction.
Any one out there?

I know of a milking herd of nubiens in Ny . I grew up in CT . Check the ADGA website also the nubien breed club site . Call the 4h office also.

ct goatie folks

We are from CT, currently in NY and trying to move back to CT. (Don't ask.) We got our first Nubians last year and had our first little doeling born this year, we are in milk and loving it! We have an enormously pregnant doe about to give birth any day now. If and when we get back to CT we might not be able to keep any/all of our ladies. Where are you located?

Beoron why would you ever move back ??? O gosh I can spend 3 days tops there and I am ready to kill! But I am way North in NY maybe you are further south.

There is only one reason I would move back to CT and that is because the courts gave custody to the idiot ex when we moved. Eight years and they will be out of school (unless I had my way and they'd be homeschooled already) and we will be out of there, trust me!

Thanks, Patti for the pep talk. We are just outside of Saratoga now but in a rural enough area that it feels like country. Plenty of connecticut is beautiful county, too, it's just that it's so darn expensive to live there. BTW we had twin nubians born this morning, a blue roan and a black spotted. Life really is good.
