The Bagot is an ancient breed believed to have existed prior to 1387. The first recorded Bagot goat being given at this time to Sir John Bagot of Blithfield Hall, Admaston, Staffordshire, England by King Richard II. The Goat takes its name from its keeper Sir John Bagot. For much of the time since the 14th century these goats have run semi wild around Bagots park, which is part of the wider Blithfield hall estate. Bagot goats have since been distributed all across Great Britain from Welsh mountains to lowland farms and conservation centres. Despite the breeds limited milk production, it remains hardy with a nervous disposition and suited to a low maintenance diet. Both males and females are horned.
