It is all down to your own good judgement..Unfortunately, DEFRA and SGRPID consider goats to be livestock, not pets. Pets can be buried in your garden, goats can't. http://archive.defra.gov.uk/foodfarm/farmanimal/diseases/biosecurity/candd.htmhttp://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/1724/article/3/made

But I stand corrected on the disinfection issue.
