💛 A Big Thank You from Goats of the Shire 💛

After much thought, we’ve made the bittersweet decision to close the chapter on Goats of the Shire as we prepare for exciting new adventures ahead.

Breeding our beloved pygmy goats and rare breed sheep has been such a joy, and we’re so grateful to every single one of our customers, followers, and friends who have supported us along the way. Your kindness, encouragement, and love for our animals have meant the world. 🐐🐑💫

As part of this transition, we do have some goats and sheep looking for wonderful new homes. If you’re interested, please get in touch with us directly for more details.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being part of this journey with us. Here’s to new beginnings, for us and for our animals. 💛

Our Story

Goats of the Shire is a family-run Pygmy Goat breeding farm in the heart of Northamptonshire. We have a small herd of beautiful Nannies and a handsome Billy Goat, living their best life in our paddocks with stabling.

We love our Pygmy Goats and our aim is to become a trusted breeder amongst fellow goat lovers, breeding fit and healthy kids. If you are looking to start your herd, or add to your existing one, please do get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Goats of the Shire is run by Rowan and Karl. With a background in farming, breeding livestock, horses and poultry, their high standards of quality, customer service and attention to detail show in their breeding program.
