Billy goat Clyde and his mother Bonnie came to us at the Weidefeld Animal Welfare Center at the beginning of 2020. A wandering shepherd had simply left the two goats behind. Clyde and Bonnie were so shy that the Cuxhaven Animal Welfare Association had great difficulty catching them.

After just a short time, Clyde began to trust our keepers. Our senior billy goat Bolle was a great help: in his role model function, he accompanied Clyde as a "godfather" during the acclimatization process.

Clyde shares his spacious accommodation and the large pasture with other goats, including his mother Bonnie. Unfortunately, Bonnie passed away in the summer of 2023. Before we replaced the fence in the goat enclosure, the bright little fellow used every loophole to help himself to horse feed in the neighbouring enclosure.

Sometimes the goats have to be caught for routine treatment. Then Clyde keeps our keepers on their toes with his agile leaps and escapes again and again.

Clyde is always happy to have new sponsors - support the billy goat with a sponsorship.
