Humans have used the goat as a symbol for thousands of years and have given it a place in myth and legend; in recent times, images of goats are found everywhere from beer labels to heavy metal art. At the same time, the goat also remains a simple farm animal. From ancient myths to pop culture to profiles of domestic breeds, Extraordinary Goats explores the many facets of the goat.

 

Goats are useful for their milk, their fur, and their meat, and they donÍt need a lot of acreage to be happy„in fact, theyÍre known as the poor manÍs cow. But thatÍs not why theyÍre fascinating.

Extraordinary Goats is chock full of historical illustrations and modern photos of goats doing what goats do„riding motorcycles, climbing trees, chewing, singing, and being adorably irascible. If you own a goat, or long to, youÍll want Extraordinary Goats on your shelf.
