British Goats Zusammenfassung

British Goats Tiffany Francis-Baker

A lively, engaging introduction to the history of goats in Britain, and the recent renaissance of goat-related products. Ever wondered why a goats eyes have rectangular pupils? Or what happened to Thors goats each day after they finished pulling his thunderous chariot? Do goats 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 humankinds future? Whether youre 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.
