Goats
Golden Guernsey Goats
Golden Guernsey goats are a rare native breed of goat (fewer than 1000 breeding females) from the island of Guernsey, a British Channel Island. They came to mainland Britain in 1965 and there is now also a sub-breed known as the British Guernsey.
Golden Guernseys are predominantly kept for their milk and company. Their average milk yield is lower than those of goats that originate from Swiss breeds, however the milk is high in butterfat and protein content, making up for the smaller amount. Their lovely nature and smaller size makes them an ideal smallholding or pet goat!
Saanen Goats
Saanen Goats are pure white and best known for their high quality milk yield. They originated in western Switzerland, have been exported across the world since the 19th century and are believed to be domesticated in over 80 different countries globally!
Pygmy Goats
Our Pygmy goats with their small stature and playful nature make a wonderful addition to our herd. Their mischievous antics and curious personalities bring joy to all volunteers and staff on The Farm. Our head of the herd (Betty) keeps all the other ladies in check throughout the day, especially at feeding time!
