Mrs Ostin said: 'We found them after a tip off shut in a field just outside Swaffham early on Saturday morning and had quite adventure trying to walk them 5 miles home.'

Mrs Ostin and she and her friends bought the goats about six months ago. She said she had been worried the goats would be sold for meat, which could have proven dangerous for their consumers, as the animals had been treated with chemicals for a skin condition.
