Whether he’s exploring the grounds, basking in the sunshine, or simply offering a quiet moment of affection, Bates brings a sense of calm and warmth wherever he goes. If you’re looking for a goat with both character and class, Bates is ready to be your loyal friend and beloved companion, just like the beloved valet from Downton Abbey!

While Bates has tested negative for CAE, he did come from a herd that has been mostly positive. Because of his exposure, Bates would be a great fit for you if you already have a CAE positive herd. You could also start your own mini herd by adopting Bates and some of his friends. Interested in learning more?
