I have just a goat and a ram, I have lost two goats and a pregnant sheep in the past. I seek opportunity to be on a farm for minimum of one to two weeks between end of of March to Mid April 2015. It will hopefully help me to learn some more before I go on comercial goat farming.

My priority is meat goat, average goat size I have in Nigeria is smaller than what I saw in Lancaster two weeks ago.
I will not mind to get Saanen just for the size too but , Boer goat looks ideal.
I also want to avoid goat that are genetically modified
