Pygmy Goats

We have recently collected three pygmy goats from a home in Wales, the person surrendering them planned to breed them, thankfully they had a change of heart and decided not to add to the growing number of unwanted animals, they chose to hand them into our care.The two three year old girls are having great fun with our herd of sheep and goats, the poor Billy goat has been castrated this week and will remain in isolation for a few weeks until infertile. We cannot wait to let the chap into the field and give him freedom, he has been locked away on his own prior to arrival for many months.
