Meet the team : Bella St Clair

Director & Goat Coordinator

After spending the first part of my career involved in clinical genetics, pathology, health care governance and accreditation, I decided to follow my heart and buy a farm in the NSW Southern Tablelands surrounded by goats, chickens, horses and cattle.
These days I spend my time maintaining one of the few remaining flocks of Australian Heritage Angora Goats and working towards preserving these beautiful goats through the development of a national breeding strategy to maintain the genetic diversity of the Australian Heritage Angora goat.
My interest and goats began through my great-grandparents whose goat farm I visited on many occasions as a child and thus began a love of all things caprine.
I am passionate about preserving biodiversity and rare breeds and undertake research on Australian Heritage Angora goats. In 2017 I was fortunate enough to be able to highlight Australian Heritage Angora goats to an international audience at the World Goat Day in Iran.
I hope to be able to bring my passion for rare and traditional breeds through education and research to ensure that these animals remain part of the rich tapestry of the biodiversity of our world.
