All Breed Show 2011 - Toggenburg Judging
South Island Dairy Goats All Breed Show 2012 is fast approaching. It will be held on Saturday the 21st of January at the Canterbury Show Grounds Stable Block.
This is the only show each year in Canterbury where the recognised dairy goat breeds are judged separately. This year, only Saanen, Toggenburg and Alpine breeds will be shown. (No Anglo-Nubians, sorry.)

Hi.
Is there any Anglo Nubians Dairy Goats in the South Island, or Organic Breeds,
I am presently waiting for the Goat Husbandry book by David MacKenzie it is coming from Britain.
THANKS.
Ian Robert Lincoln.
Hi Ian, Yes, there are Anglo Nubians in the South Island. There are also organic breeds. That book you are waiting for is still regarded by most as the best book on goat keeping. We’ll forward your message to the secretary.
