Size:  A medium well proportioned goat, when full grown about 30" to the shoulder.  It wants to stand well, but not up to dairy goat standards as it is a semi feral goat.

Horns:  Large curved horns on the males, which sweep backwards and outwards off centre line.  Both sex’s carry horns, whilst the males have larger horns.  The females are straighter, not as large, and also should be off centre the line.

Head and Forequarters:  Predominately black in colour.  If the goat carries a large white patch on its head or white on its neck it should be looked at critically before registering.

Hindquarters:  Predominately white in colour, Males should carry no black in this area if at all possible.

Coat:  Usually long and course in texture on the outside.  Some goats can be seen to carry a short dairy goat type coat and this should be avoided.

Ears:  Self supporting, By this it is meant that no drooping ears to be registered.

Tassels:  Neck appendages, This is a dairy goat influence and should not be present.

Teats:  Bagot Males carrying teat abnormalities will NOT be registered.  This includes Supernumerary, any odd shaped or tampered with teats.  The male wants to be correct in ever detail in this area.

Females carrying these teats, are not barred at present, but in everybody’s interest, if present they should be considered critically before applying for registration.

All male goats will have to be inspected by a Breed Society inspector and a good quality individual photo supplied before this inspection.  This is before registration will even be considered.  This photo will go onto the computer program with the goats pedigree to show overall markings.

It is a known fact that there were many miss marked goats in the original herd, we also know that they tried to rectify that fact on many occasions.  We as a Society are in a better position now than they were in those early days, because it is now not so imperative that the survival of the fittest rule should reign supreme, as it did in the Blithfield days.
