We have three breeds of goat on the farm. They are each unique and all very friendly and playful. Goats can be used for milk or meat, but we just keep ours because we like to have them around the farm!

Goats are closely related to sheep so eat similar food to them and digest in the same way. They also have similar numbers of young, giving birth to between one and three young. Their young are known as kids, the older males are called billys and the females are does.
