Have you tried the Bagot Goat Society? Or maybe the BGS?

..or call Ruth Dalton who is an officer for the Rare Breed Survival Trust (RBST) or look at their website under Stock Exchange which is a link at the bottom of the home page.

Is Cornwall too far ?  A member of the Cornwall goalkeepers has registered bagots.  If you ask on the Goaty Friends Facebook site you might find someone else.

i breed registered bagots in aberdeenshire. there is a new initiative being set up called "Browsing Bagots" which hopefully will bring contacts and interests together again. the bagot goat society website has seemed at bit dormant for a few years unfortunately.

http://browsingbagots.co.uk/ (http://browsingbagots.co.uk/)

my nannies had year off from breeding this year but we will possibly have some registered stock available next year. we had to travel many many miles to find our unrelated breeding herd so be prepared to hunt own the right ones if you are wanting to breed.

good luck

thats great. if you get 2 unrelated billies then you will be able to keep your nanny kids and build up your herd yourself. where did you find them?
good luck  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
