JohnnyJohnny had been living with his Dad in a field with no shelter (goats aren't waterproof like sheep!) next to a railway line. The RSPCA were called because local residents were concerned about the goats' welfare. Just before the RSPCA contacted us, Dad was found dead in the small stream running through the field. Johnny had seen his Dad die, and was so distraught that he started banging his head against a tree and broke off one of his wonderful horns. It took us over two hours to catch Johnny. It looked as though he was going to jump one of the fences, and was far too near the railway line for my liking. Thankfully he opted for the other side of the field and jumped over that fence, running over the road and up a driveway to a farm. Nobody was at home, and for the next half-hour we ran round and round the concrete yard until we finally caught him in a cow cubicle. The Farmer doesn't know to this day that we used his facilities

"The Lads"A lady in Yorkshire found these two lads when they were less than a week old being kicked around a car park by a group of youths. She took them in, bottle fed them and did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, she was unable to keep them long term. Although they look like angels they are far from it and pick on the older members of the herd. Occasionally (not often enough) they pick on the wrong OAP and are swiftly, smoothly and with professionalism, flung to the other side of the yard.
Mr AngryThe ladies do find me irresistible. I realised years ago that being short (I'm only one foot seven inches) needn't hinder you. The other blokes are always asking me for advice. This redhead’s acting cool, but I know that she's mad about me.
