A few years back we were contacted by a man who lived in the south west of SCotland, and who runs his own company, suppling animals to be used in TV shows, adverts, films etc. Now, not very often, but occasionally, he needs goats for a scene, tv show or something.
So I thought I would pop up the links to what our goats have been in so far.
This was filmed about two years ago, and was filmed on the 7th floor of an office block in central Glasgow. Walking a goat past Sunday afternoon shoppers into a tower block was interesting, as was taking her up in the lift! This only took a couple of hours to filmand was on a sketch show on BBC4.

The second clip, from the BBC webpage is from series 1 of Monarch of the Glen. This was a whole day's filming, and was a fantastic experience.

Excellent, I hope fame hasn't gone to their heads? ::)

Did they get a posh dressing room, and food etc?!!
We had a film crew down at the farm a few years back. Filmed my uncle round the farm, then asked if they could film Tanya my big Toggie and me. It took ages to get it right, and we must hav walked up the same bit of field twenty times - in the rain. And although we saw my Uncle have his moment of fame on the telly, I never did find out which programme the goat and I were on, although someone told me they had seen us :D

Brilliant - how did SAMU cope with goats in a towerblock - did they have to get a holding number for the day???? Anke

I love your goat in the line up scene. She looks so calm and beautiful. ;D
