Description
Goats are a diverse range of beautiful and sometimes rare animals. Their history dates back over 10,000 years when they were first taken into human care. Today, goats provide a variety of products including mohair and cashmere clothing, meat, milk, and cheese. These intelligent and curious animals have adapted to their environments, with some breeds thriving in fields, hillsides, and mountains. They are browsers that prefer unwanted plants, using their lips and tongues to select the tastiest options. Goats are also notorious for their ability to escape from secure fields, making them entertaining pets for those who can provide suitable care. This book offers a comprehensive look at 37 breeds of goats from around the world, featuring photographs and information on size, weight, hair type, and history.
