Relaxed FarmingWhy keep Pygmy goats... (as answered by Thyme). Okay, we are NOT a traditional farming/smallholding animal BUT we can actually help to promote the rest of the smallholding because we are so friendly, so cute, so well behaved (well, most of us...). Our owners have us at the top of their paddock so we are the first animals visitors see - the small and cute factor in pygmies is really really high!!

  • We make fabulous pets: Read more

  • We will clear your paddock/garden of unwanted weeds - we adore brambles and so if you have a rough part of your garden (or paddock) we will happily spend hours munching away and getting rid of all your unwanted vegetation for you. You might want to protect anything you DON'T want us to eat mind you as we quite like lots of other things too!!

    If you have to trim any branches off your trees we will happily eat the leaves and bark (save you having to burn/compost it!!) .

    We also love grass - although not as much as sheep do but we will still save you from having to mow your lawn at times!

  • We don't cost that much to keep: Read more

  • We don't need much space: Read more

  • We might even make you a bit of money: Read more
