Goats My Pet and Me

-Hi, I'm Ferne.

-And I'm Rory.

BOTH: And we LOVE animals!

Some animals can be brilliant pets. Pets are great!

We like meeting you and your pets.

I'm off to meet some new friends,

but I'll be back later to tell you all about it.

-Would you like to come with me? See ya!

-See ya!

-Come on!

Today we're in Lampeter to meet Charlie and her pets.

I can't wait to see what they are! Let's go.

-Hello, Charlie.

-Hi, Ferne.

-And you must be Nan.

-Hi, Ferne.

-And who are all of these?

-My goats.

-Your goats?

You've got pet goats, that is fantastic!

Hi. I love goats!

Wow! There's so many, isn't there?

And which one is your favourite?

-That one. Who's that?

-Nigella.

Nice to meet you, Nigella.

-She's very small.

-She's a baby.

Do you know what a baby goat is called?

-A kid, like me.

-That's right!

-So, have you got boy goats or girl goats?

-Both.

-So, which ones are boys and which ones are girls?

-Boy, and a boy.

Those two. So, the little one with the blue collar

and the big brown one.

-With the blue collar.

-And what's the big brown one's name?

-Percy.

-Percy.

-Denzel.

-And Denzel, this is Denzel?

-Yeah.

-Hello, you.

-And all the rest are girls?

-Yes!

Boy goats are called billy goats or bucks,

and girl goats are called does, but they can be called nannies.

That's when they're being mother goats.

It can be really difficult to tell the difference

-because both of them have beards and these...

-And toggles.

And toggles, the dangly things under their faces.

No-one really knows why they have them. The easiest way

is to look to see if they've got udders, like Nell here,

and that shows that they're a nanny goat.

Charlie, do your goats make noises?

THEY BOTH NAY

-Don't they? Are they very noisy?

-Yeah.

And goats' "nay" noise is called bleating.

What's your favourite thing about the goats?

They're funny and they're happy.

They're very happy and they're very friendly, too.

I really love them and, Rory, can you tell us

some more facts about our friendly little goaty friends here?

Of course, Ferne.

One,

goats have rectangle shaped pupils in their eyes.

Isn't that amazing?

Two,

goats are very good at balancing.

This makes them good climbers.

Three,

a group of goats is called a herd or a trip.

Four, goats spend a lot of their time eating grass.

This is called grazing.

Five,

nanny goats produce milk which we can drink or make into cheese.

Like all pets, goats need lots of looking after.

Charlie, what do we have to do to take care of your goats?

-Muck them out.

-Is this where muck them out?

-What is this place?

-A pen.

It's great because it's nice and sheltered.

So, when it rains, goats can come in here

where it's nice and dry for them.

-Shall we get started?

-Let's have a race.

-Oh, that sounds fun! Ready...

-Steady...

BOTH: Go! - Argh!

Excuse me, Nell. Are you wondering where your mess is going?

Move over, goats. Come on!

Oh, you're doing a great job, Charlie. You're very fast!

Great. So, what do we do next?

Put some straw in their bed.

This straw?

Wow.

This place is looking brilliant. What do we do next?

-Feed them.

-Let's go!

Charlie, what's in these pellets?

Squashed peas and sweetcorn and grass.

Yum! Well, for goats.

This is perfect goat food for them.

Charlie's goats get one scoop in the morning

and one in the evening. What else do they eat, Charlie?

-Nettles, grass and hay.

-Hay is really good for their teeth.

It keeps them clean and it's good for their digestion,

so it keeps their tummy healthy too, doesn't it?

Goats need plenty of fresh water every day.

Shall we use the hose?

Watch out, goats.

You're getting water.

Right, that's enough water. What do we have to do now?

-Wash our hands.

-That's right. Let's go.

So, now it is playtime.

Charlie, do we do to play with your goats?

-Hide their food.

-And what's this here?

-A playground.

-A goat playground.

It sounds amazing. Should we start hiding their food?

Nigella is so good at jumping!

This is a great place for your goats to climb and have fun, isn't it?

That's a great platform and there's this hay bale,

isn't there? And they love the seesaw.

You've to climb up, goat.

-Come on, climb up.

-No, here.

There? OK. It's a nice idea to hide treats the goats can try and find.

It keeps them interested.

So, which goat is the best at climbing?

-Nigella.

-Nigella.

-She's a good climber.

And who's the best jumper?

-Nigella.

-As well? Is she the best at everything?

Yeah!

Look, there she goes!

She's got really good balance.

This goat playground is such a wonderful idea.

You can see that they're having so much fun.

It's brilliant. Goats love exploring,

they're good at climbing and they've got good balance.

I think you're right. I think Nigella is the best at climbing.

-She's not slipping.

-No.

-She never slips.

Good job, Nigella. Whoa.

-Nell's trying to get the hay.

-Look at him, going underneath.

Come on, Denzel.

Look, he's having all his carrots. Oh, hello!

CHARLIE LAUGHS

-That was so much fun. I think they really enjoyed it, don't you?

-Yeah.

-Is it cuddle time now?

-Yes.

Sounds... Come on, goats.

Come for your hug. Here we go, here's Denzel.

-Oh, Denzel.

-Hey.

You have to cuddle them!

I don't want to scare them.

He's not scared.

-Is someone trying to nibble my hair?

-Yeah, Dolly is.

Here comes Dolly!

CHARLIE LAUGHS

Hello, Dolly. Are you eating my hair?

Are you eating my hair, you little greedy goat? Hmm?

Do you mind?

FERNE GASPS

Your goats certainly are adventurous, Charlie.

Yeah, they love exploring.

They're very good at it.

If your goats could go on any adventure in the entire world,

what do you think they would do?

DRUM ROLL

If my goat, Nigella, could do anything,

she would be a street dancer in Miami.

She would do head spins on the stand

and run fast and jump over walls.

And go round and round palm trees.

And she can moonwalk backwards down the street.

What's your favourite thing to do with your goats?

-Walking them.

-Walking them? That sounds like so much fun!

-And we'll get to see all the other animals, won't we?

-Yeah.

-So, what is all of this?

-Decorations.

What are we going to decorate?

Hairbands and the collars.

These collars? And the leads, these goat collars?

And are these hairbands for the goats?

-No? Who are these for?

-Ours.

-These are ours.

That's a brilliant idea! Very exciting.

Do you want that little bow?

Oh, wow. This is pretty.

What about a few stickers?

Great choice, Charlie.

Good idea.

That looks very good.

Right, I think we're good to go.

-Shall we show the goats?

-And we've got to brush them.

That's right, we should make them all smart. Let's go!

Come on, chubby!

These collars and leads look brilliant, don't they?

I think these goats are looking great, do you?

Shall we take them and show them off to the animals?

Come on, goats!

Let's go say hello to the animals and show off your nice collars.

-Come on.

-Come on, Nell.

Hi, horses. Bye, horses!

What a beautiful day for a stroll around the farm.

Good job.

Right, come on, Nell. We'll get you off your lead.

Well done, Nigella. Good job.

I've had so much fun. I've never walked a goat before.

It's been brilliant! Thanks for introducing me to your goats.

You're welcome.

My Pet And Me!

-Hi, Rory.

-Hello. How are you doing? How was your day?

Oh, it was so much fun!

Let me tell you all about it.

Today I met Charlie and her goats.

Nigella was the youngest.

She was so sweet and funny.

We hid treats for them in their goat playground

and had a lovely cuddle time.

Then we took Nigella and her mum Nell for a walk around the farm

to say hello to all Charlie's other pets.

Wow, that sounds amazing and you made some great new friends!

I did, but it's important to remember

that before you pet any animals you ask the owner's permission.

One pet you definitely can play with, though, is ours.

Go to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.

It is so much fun and we just love meeting you and your pets.
