Two orphaned young goats have become the centre of attention at a city farm.

Female kids Bracken and Bramble were born four weeks ago at Gorse Hill City Farm, in Anstey Lane, Leicester.

Sadly, their mother died of pneumonia shortly after the births, meaning staff at the charity have had to hand-rear them.

Assistant manager Katie Owens has been caring for the young animals by feeding them and keeping them company.

Katie said: "They usually bond with the mother after being born, but they didn't have time to do that before she died.

"Because of that they've bonded with staff and visitors and they've become really social.

"They even call out for attention when no-one is around – they love to be made a fuss of."

The kids will be fed a diet of powered lambs' milk for the next four weeks until they are old enough to digest solid food.
