An old story from 2009 :
Quote:
Billy’s replacement will be unveiled in June when a kid will be collected from a herd on the Great Orme, North Wales.
So , his replacement was ........ Billy the Kid !

I remember talking to their Goat Major upon Great Ormes Head whilst on holiday that summer, it took quite some time to acquire the replacement, certainly a far cry from the days when the sovereign sent one from the Royal herd at Windsor Great Park.
