A lively, engaging introduction to the history of goats in Britain,
and the recent renaissance of goat-related products. Ever wondered
why a goat's eyes have rectangular pupils? Or what happened to
Thor's goats each day after they finished pulling his thunderous
chariot? Do goat's milk, cheese and meat represent more ethical
food choices than cow and sheep products, and if so, can goat
farming play an important role in humankind's future? Whether
you're an aspiring smallholder, cheese fanatic or simply want to
know more about our caprine companions, this guide introduces the
fascinating history and folklore of goats and examines the
development of goatkeeping in Britain, shedding light on one of our
most intelligent, curious and mischievous domestic animals. It also
explains the origins and features of the sixteen British goat
breeds and the qualities of their products, and even has a few
craft and recipe ideas for you to try.
