Aah! New rare goats arrive at Wimpole Home Farm

This is a Bagot goat called Windmill Matthew and he's a rare breed. This means that there aren't many Bagot goats left in Britain.

The National Trust has bought Windmill Matthew and 4 new female Bagot goats for
Wimpole Home Farm.

Bagot goats are quite little and as Mark Field, the Farm's Stockman says, "Good things come in small bundles."

Male goats are called billy goats and female goats are called nannies.

The new Wimpole nanny goats' names are: Beatrice, Bethany, Briony and Becky.

Wimpole Home Farm is in Cambridgeshire. It's a working farm with rare farm breeds. The National Trust is trying to help save native breeds and Bagot goats are native to Britain.

Hopefully, there will be some Bagot goat kids in the Spring next year. We'll keep you updated as soon as we have any news - can't wait to see photos of them!

Did you go to a farm over Easter? If so, have you got any photos of animals you saw that you can send us?
We'd love to hear from you.
