The Bagot is a small goat breed that has lived semi-wild at Blithfield Hall in Staffordshire, England for several hundred years, traditionally said to descend from goats brought back from the Rhone valley by returning Crusaders in the 1380s. It carries a black head and neck extending to the withers with the rest of the body predominantly white. The breed has no commercial value for meat or dairy and instead serves conservation grazing, its browsing used by organisations such as the RSPB to maintain biodiversity at nature reserves; classified vulnerable by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust after improving from critically endangered in 2010, only about 200 to 300 breeding females were registered in the United Kingdom as of 2019.
