Relaxed FarmingHow to look after us... (as answered by Gorge). Yes I am the pretty one but I don't show off about it... We really are not that difficult to look after. We don't make too many demands and we are NOWHERE near as daft as sheep...

  • Goats? Escape artists? No: Read more

  • We hate the rain: Read more

  • We love to climb: goats are 'ungulates' (Yes, I had to ask my mum what that meant...) - it means we have cloven hooves with claws. This makes us expert climbers and able to balance on tiny ledges.

    We LOVE climbing and scrambling and playing 'King (or Queen) of the Castle' where the first one to the top gets to push all the others off... great fun (don't try this at home...)!!

    The best owners are ones that give us lots of things to jump on and climb up, both inside and outside: rocks, wooden platforms, fallen tree trunks, plastic boxes... we're not fussy!!

    You might however want to make sure we cannot climb and reach things you don't want us to reach mind you, like your washing line or your prized fruit trees...
