Whist walking around the back part of our farm I came around a corner and there, in a warm patch of earth, were these twin wild goats. They were so surprised they just stayed sitting there while an anxious mother looked over from nearby. We have a number of feral goats roaming through these hills. About 20 years ago I was actively farming a mob of some 100 goats in order to harvest the high value cashmere they produce in the winter. At least that is what I hoped. However the actual returns didn't add up so that  "get rich quick" scheme was abandoned. The goats are a bit of a nuisance eating pasture and poking through fences , but they  also do control some weeds so are of some benefit.
