You mean, after all this waiting for kids, there ain't none? Is Suz gonna have goat for Xmas rather than turkey this year. Never a dull moment with animals is there?

What ! You're going to keep it in the house? I'd still say a jersey as they are so friendly, but I doubt they are hardy enough for there.

You know what they say "A goat is just a poor man's cow!"

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Do they have animal auctions over there?
