Goats are two types, mountain goats and domesticated goats.

Domesticated goats are farm animals used for milk, meat, fur and skin.

Mountain goats inhabit mountains and are much heavier and larger.

Goats are unique creatures in their own right.

Power of goat’s milk

“Goat’s milk is the closest thing out there to human breast milk. Plus, it is more easily digested than cow’s or soy milk. Giving goat’s milk to children is popular in Europe and other parts of the world.” Kristin Cavallari
