My submission for a goat name is Gabhar McAghaidh-Gabhar.

You know that a species is hardcore when it willingly eats gorse!

North Norfolk does something similar (ish). In Cromer they use the goats to manage vegetation on the cliffside, which helps maintain the integrity of the cliff. They use bagot goats, which are a very old breed. I got a pic of one.
