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: Read more

  • We love our food!!!: Read more

  • We need our friends: Read more

  • We try not to be ill but sometimes we are: On the whole goats are quite a healthy bunch. We can suffer with worms in our tummies if we eat worm eggs and larva on the ground and if we eat too much food or food that is very rich we can suffer from runny poo (lovely... NOT for our owners).

    We are vaccinated against some of the nasty diseases around and as long as our feet and skin are checked regularly (our skin for nasty creepy crawlies) and we are fed the right foods, we tend to stay quite fit and healthy...

 Our milk gives our kids the best start in life...
