The Goat

  

Domestic goats along with sheep are humankind's oldest domesticated species dating back some 10,000 years. For thousands of years, goats have been used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins over much of the world. In the last century they have also gained some popularity as pets.

An ideal family dairy animal, the dwarf dairy goat is easily handled and can be kept on small parcels of land. The dairy goat's appeal to young people is evidenced by the numerous dairy goat projects in the 4-H and FFA programs.

It is alert, intelligent, socially inclined and affectionate. A loving and loved animal, it returns the cost of its feed in a valuable and healthful food product. Its delicious milk, produced so economically, is wholesome and nutritious.


10,000 years old?  I don't know... possibly.  Lagomarsino Canyon, NV. Near the ranch.

Looks like a goat to me...
