Shown here is a herd of goats that originally roamed the pastures of Bagot's Park on the Blithfield Estate for centuries. The first two goats shown below are at Ramshill Farm and bred and controlled by the BAGOT GOAT BREED SOCIETY. The herd at the bottom was once located in the beautiful landscape we see there at Leven's Park in Cumbria, England. Patrick Bagot sent me this picture years ago when he visited Leven's Park in Cumbria. They are called Schwartzhal, and they are believed to have been brought to England from the Rhône Valley during one of the crusades as traveling food. There are several theories of how the goats came into the possession of the Bagot family, but the most recognized and accepted theory is that the herd was a gift from King Richard II to Sir John Bagot for what the king called "good hunting on the property there at Blithfield." The goats became famous, because they were once a product of the royal family in England. Their unique appearance is the white body with the black breast and neck.
