Billy Goat Gruff - mini meeeee

Todays blip is of one of the African Pygmy Goats kept in Walton Gardens near Warrington, the gardnes are one of our favourite places to call in with the gradaughters for a moosche around the gardens, playground time, see the various animals trampoline, bouncy castle & slide, crazy golf, pitch n put and the obligatory Mr Whippy 99 ice cream. Our youngest gradaughter had fun in a cock a doodle sound off with the resident cockerel although his sounded craoky by the time we called her off.

Pygmy goats originated in the Cameroon Valley of West Africa. They were imported into the United States from European zoos in the 1950s for use in zoos as well as research animals. They were eventually acquired by private breeders and quickly gained popularity as pets and exhibition animals due to their good-natured personalities, friendliness and hardy constitution.
