Animals in Smallholding. Rudge Heath, Shropshire The public footpath leads from the lane, through a small children's grassy play area, then a small field attached to the neighbouring cottage. Here a few sheep and chickens roam freely (see my other pictures) and this little cutie with his mate. About 40cm shoulder height - could someone tell me the breed so that I can update this page? Ah! PYGMY GOAT.  Thanks Anji :-) 15.3.09
