Have a brilliant day!! I'm looking for a goat sanctuary to 'sponsor' via Its Baaath Time currently, last 2 I have contacted never got back to me, might try this one then. Even if I can donate a basket of bath goodies a few times a year for a raffle I'd love to do that

This sanctuary is only a few miles from us - you could have called in and seen us, but for the fact we are away showing and driving ponies tomorrow .......Not quite as many goats here though - just 16!!!!

Well what a lovely afternoon we had at The Goat Sanctuary! Cheryl is an absolutely lovely lady and took 2 hours of her time to show us around and introduce us to nearly all of the 140 goats. You can tell she loves them all and really knows her stuff - the place is an absolute credit to her. She has all sorts - all sizes - all breeds - a great place to go if you dont know your Toggs from your BA's lol, we fell in love with Giles - a particularly handsome and large British Alpine Wether who was the size of a pony!! he followed us round and stood content whilst we chatted to cheryl, he loved attention and was a big softy (could of easily put him in the boot!) finally before we left we stood behind the gate and got 4 packets of biscuits out of car - I swear those goats can read!! wow did they love Digestives!! I will try and load some pics later - great great day - more details on www.goatsanctuary.org - in Alderley Edge Cheshire.
