Breed Description

The Bagot is a small to medium sized goat. It has large curved horns which sweep backwards with vey little lateral twist.
 
The head and forequarters are black (not blue) and the hindquarters are predominantly white. Many animals have black patches on the hindquarters and a white blaze on the face. These should be at a minimum.
 
Supernumerary teats are undesirable.
 
They have not been selected for meat or milk production and are not noted for their commercial qualities. Current work involves looking at them for use in conservation grazing.
