Goat farming in Pembrokeshire

Available for over a year

How do you weigh a goat? That’s the big question on the day Verity Sharp visits Moat Goats in Pembrokeshire. Meg and Damien McNamara manage their forty or so Boer goats for meat - and today’s the all important weighing day, to decide which of the young kids are ready for slaughter. Meg and Damien used to farm goats on a much bigger scale, but were forced to downsize when life took a different turn four years ago when their son Iori was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. But small is indeed beautiful - as Iori, now aged five, can help herd the goats in his tiny all-terrain motorised wheelchair, whilst his younger sister Mati ties a mean knot when it comes to baler twine. Produced and presented by Verity Sharp
