The Bagot goat /ˈbæɡət/[1] is a breed of goat which for several hundred years has lived semi-wild at Blithfield Hall, Staffordshire, England. It is a small goat, with a black head and neck and the remainder of the body white.
In 2010 it was considered "critically endangered" by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, as there were fewer than 100 registered breeding females in the United Kingdom,[2] but by 2012 had been upgraded to "vulnerable",[3] where it remains as of 2019, with 200-300 breeding females known.[4]
