North Lindsey College welcomes playful new residents

North Lindsey College has expanded its Animal Management facility with the arrival of two Royal Golden Guernsey goats, Otto and Finnagan.

The pair came from an educational farm in Saffron Walden, where they were hand-reared by children and community visitors. Now settled in Scunthorpe, they have quickly adapted to their new home and joined the college’s existing herd of four goats.

Over the summer, the young goats have been exploring their surroundings, enjoying climbing frames, attention from staff, and plenty of food. Their presence adds to the department’s appeal for students learning about animal care and management.

The goats arrive as the college prepares to open a £40 million main campus building. Due to launch this month, the facility will include modern classrooms, breakout areas, an auditorium, SEND learning spaces, a dining zone, and a coffee shop.

With new facilities and a growing animal family, the college is setting the stage for an engaging start to the academic year.
