We re￿Ued 43 goats thls year (2024.32). Of these and from our herd, 8ucces8fulty found lovlng

For Goats
Thanks to a generous legacy. a new Stab￿ block was built to replace an older stsble block. thus
providing improved shelter arKI more flexible housing for several goats.
We are actively 8eeklng a rw patron as our previou8 patron has ￿ed to Devon.
Despite our successes. faced significant pressure this year. The Orfvirus outbreak, meant that we
had to dose the sanctuary to the public until the outbreak was urthjer o)ntrol, which significanty affected
the income associated with vi8itor8 to the Sanctuary. Thts coupled with the rising o)8t of animal care,
wlth a sharp Inwse in reports of cruelty and neglect. collectlvely has challervJed our rèsources. i)Jr
CaPa￿ty was con&stenUy pushed to its limits. particularly ￿1th hig￿need goats requlrfng exten81ve
rehabilitation.
In addition. early in 2(MM there vrns an outbreak of bluetongi*, which restr1c￿ the movement of goats,
amongst other animals. For a while this made it more difficult to rescue goats from outsid8 of the ￿unty.
In order to prioritise future strategy and planniro aThJ ensure appropriat8 allocatlon of furKls. trustees
carrfed out a SWOT analysis in June 2024. the out￿meS of which are feedirKJ into tho development of a
stratsgic plan
In the meantime. our focu818 on three cor8 areas:
We will continue to build on our fundra18irvJ efforts to ensure our 8eDiices meet the
increasing demand from abandoned goats, potsntially requiring an increase In our acreage for
the welfare of the goats.
We aim to exparKI our preventstivg vth by providing more support arKI education to goat
¢)wners, making fostering as sU￿sSful as we are able.
Wè aim to ensure that visitirvJ the goat sanctuary Is a positive and calming experien￿ by
improving our facilities for goats and humans alike.
For the upu)mlng period. several key projects are planned to complement these core areas:
Modical ￿ntrO
ConvertirwJ a space previously used for tempornry stsbling into a dedKated treatment area where stsff
can safely provide routine medical tr8atsment to goats away from the rest of the he￿1.
By converting thls sp8rA into 8 medical sutte, we wlll also be able to have a dedicated space for all the
medical supplies and slgnffican￿y reduce risk of cross contsmin8tion. The work 18 ongolro but once
these inslallations are complete. we ￿111 be ready to move in the medical equipment and set up
additional workstations for medical record keeplng and faecal egg count an8ly8iS.
The current staff and volunteer medical aw wlll be repurposed exclusively a8 a stsff and volunteer
refreshment space. This will provide much-needed ro(Th for breaks, storage. and Signif￿ntlY reduce the
risk of cross•uJntamination arKI increase wellbeing.
Car park
Work is underway to Improve the car pa￿Ing expertence for our visitors,. by Improving th8 surfacing and
maximising the number of pa￿Ing bays available. We are lookirwJ to use recycled chestnut rails to mark
the bays in keeping with our rural location.
We have adjusted the ferTh line on the north twder to maximi88 parkiNJ spa(* and have had 60 tons of
recycled road plannings spread and Ilghty compacted in the far quarter of ￿ c8rpark to make the ¥¥:y,?"
ground level arKI access for parking all yearwround.
Goat Yard

the largest amount of mud we have 8ver seen onsile.
To mitigate this in the future we have raleveled and exlended the hard5tanding area in the yard. This ￿1[
enable the goats to have more a(t8ssibl8 space which 1$ not in dSrect conlact with mud and darnp
conditions which can harl)our bacterla which In tum attacks th6 goats, feet.
We have already reduced Stock numiErs ty our successful fostering program and have redesigned
more rigorous preventstive treatment for hoof care which should assist in the reduction of hoof
related illnesses and reduce the time 8F￿t treatlng them, rthv and in the future.
Increasing the hard standing, will help ¥*lth this problem further, but also result in the goats havlng more
'dTI space to spread out hay feeders and raduce Competition for food wh8n a￿$•ng the hayracks. Ihis

Stables and Roof Ropalr Projects
This is the Sanctuary's Forth Bridge. a nev8r4nding requirement for replacAnent and repair.
Several PToiects are planned ovar the 2025-2026 year to replac8 or repair roofifwJ arKI to replace oth8r
stable block8.
Vlsftor Surv•y
We are passionate aL￿ul maknry our visitor experience the best tt can be, ar#J to that end we asked our
visilors about their experience aThJ how the exp6rience could be t*tter.
Visitors, response indicated that th8 most attractive features of Butte￿p& W88 the hands-on
expèriences v•ith the goats, the tranqull outdoor sp￿8 and the relaxing atmo8ph8r8.
Areas in which Visitors felt improvement was needed. vras the accessibility of the site. the frjmation of
the carpark, more toilets, bigger tsaroom wlth a better off6ring of food to PLY(*oses. hot and cold, and
