Goats, goats and…goats!
In June you may have seen me walk in to the goat tent with RHS TV loudly exclaiming that this was in fact ‘heaven in a tent’…I stand by it! A top 2 animal up there with cats!
Today we bring on a Nuffield scholar who started as an English teacher and after a chat on a plane with her partner, Fraser decided to buy some goats. Obviously at this point it wasn’t time to ditch the full time jobs but there was time!
Fast forward today and with three figures of milking goats Rachel Yarrow of Norton and Yarrow Cheese is trying to find a pasture based goat system that could be implemented large scale here in the UK!
We talk tenancies, getting into farming and so much more…also some goats!!
A great chat with a goat nerd!
Thanks to Howden rural and Scottish farmer for their support!
Enjoy!
