Читать книгу Raising Goats For Dummies - Cheryl K. Smith - Страница 14

Goats are fantastic animals that have been domesticated for more than 10,000 years. You get a lot from a relatively small animal — you can milk them or eat their meat, use their fiber and their skin for making clothing, and even use their dung for fuel (if you are so inclined). In the past, goat hide was made into bags for carrying water and wine and parchment for writing on; it is still used to make drums in some countries.

You may want to raise goats for a variety of reasons. Whatever brings you to goats, you’re guaranteed to find additional benefits to owning these critters after you start working with them.
