**Giving a goat for Christmas might be so last year, dahling, but there’s still 
a healthy business in goats as beneficiary gifts. **

Oxfam today reports that its [Oxfam Unwrapped](http://www.oxfamunwrapped.com) catalogue
has so far ‘sold’ “over 6,000 goats and 1,100 donkeys”.

They add: “our limited edition four-legged friends are running off the shelves”.
