Brush up your coats, put on a smile and get ready for Royalty

King Charles will visit Guernsey today and, according to the BBC news, will grant the Golden Guernsey Goat breed a special title. Read below

“The Golden Guernsey Goat breed will be renamed the Royal Golden Guernsey Goat on 16 July.

It is the first time in recent history the protected title has been granted to a livestock breed.

The title will apply to all Golden Guernseys in the Island and across the world.

Royal titles are granted very infrequently, on the advice of the Cabinet Office with strict standards applied.

‘Tremendous honour’

The States said it was keen to recognise the “significance of the visit” being the King’s first to Guernsey in his role.

During the ceremony, an engraved brass goat bell on a collar will be placed around the neck of Summerville Tamsin, an eight-year-old female Golden Guernsey Goat.

The Golden Guernsey Goat is a dairy breed which is distinguished by its golden skin and hair, which range in hue from pale blond to deep bronze.”

Here at The Gables we are very excited! Maybe I should rename the book,”Jews Milk Royal Goats!”
