Rand Farm Park in Lincolnshire have recently had two new rare arrivals join their farm. The newly born Bagot goats were born on the 8 April 2016 at the park.

The Bagot goat is a breed of goat that has lived partially wild for around several hundred years in Staffordshire, England. The goats are small and have black heads and a white body. In 2010 the breed was considered “critically endangered” by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. It was reported there were fewer than 100 breeding females in the UK. By 2012 they had been upgraded slightly to “vulnerable”.

Rand Farm Park announced their happy news on their social media pages where they explained to excited Facebook and Twitter followers how the endangered goats were “rarer than a panda.” It is estimated there are around 250 pandas in zoos with another 1800 – 3000 surviving in the wild. This makes the Bagot Goat rarer than a panda.
