The lovely story of Jonathan Pygmy Goat who came from our herd when we lived in Oxfordshire. Thanks for sharing Cogges, what a wonderful life he had. 💙

Thank you, Jonathan – G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time). It is with sadness that we say farewell to Jonathan, Cogges’ much-loved Pygmy goat, and to remember and celebrate his very happy life. Farm Manager, Kirsty Grey, shares her memories and the story of Jonathan and his fans. We know many of you loved visiting him over his 12 years at Cogges, if you wish, please do share your photos and memories here

Time for some new homes!

Our pygmy goat kids are now ready for their new homes, having had all their vaccinations. We have both females and wethers available, disbudded and a real mix of colours and characters.

You will need a CPH number to home some
kids and as they are very sociable, we won’t send one off on their own.

To find out more, please DM us and we will send you more info.

We can’t quite believe it is 11 years today since we moved to Scotland - it so quickly became home, and we’ve done lots to improve the farm, in particular developing the sheep flock.

It is therefore fitting that just last week the Farmers Guardian decided to publish an interview with Stuart to find out more about what he has been doing and the importance of monitoring performance to improve our flock efficiency.

Performance recording his flock comes naturally to Stuart Dawes, who has been keeping meticulous records since he started sheep farming just over 10 years ago
