Des Fossés’ goat
The ’des Fossés’ goat is indigenous to the Normandy–Brittany area, where it was used for all-purpose subsistence farming, providing the family with milk, meat and hide – and even for drought by the poorest families.
This docile, light-framed goat with fairly long hair in a range of colors almost become extinct, but has since been rescued thanks to a dynamic breed conservation programme launched 5 years ago.

Discussion
"Is there a naming convention for foreign names if they have no English official translation? I would like to create a page about a rare goat breed of Brittany and Normandy the "Chèvre des fossés". Articles in English on internet call it by its French name, sometimes with unsatisfactory translations ("Ditch goat", "Goat of the ditches" etc)"

No answer forthcoming, unfortunately.
Je crois que oui.
