Our Bagot Goats

Here at Cragg House Farm, we are proud champions for pedigree native breeds of livestock. Native breeds have characteristics that are better suited to our challenging climate and make a positive contribution to the ecosystem they have evolved to thrive in.

The Bagot is believed to be Britain’s oldest breed of goat with a documented ancestry. The first recorded account of the breed appears in historical documents from 1389, when Sir John Bagot was known to be the keeper of the original herd at Blithfield, his Staffordshire estate in the English Midlands. The Bagot goat was originally managed as a feral and semi-feral parkland breed in Bagots Park, just three miles from Blithfield Hall. They proved to be extremely self-reliant, which has ensured their continued survival over many centuries.

We run a small herd of 4 nannies and a billy and hope to welcome our High Stile pedigree kids during spring.

You can get to know our herd through updates on our social media channels or come and meet them in person by booking a “Goat Picnic”!

There is a need to farm harmoniously alongside nature; a need for sustainable food; and a need to support the change makers…
