My eight year old son has written a brilliant essay (his first) on goats. Must share!
"The goat is a ruminant mammal closely related to the sheep. They're used in many parts of the world for their hair, meat, milk, and leather. Those parts include Asia, India and Iran for their wool. Ruminant means cloven-hooved, cud-chewing animals with four legs.
"Usually with our goats, especially Taza, they smile at me when I come to feed them. The milk tastes very good--and I mean good!--after my mom has strained and cleaned the milk.
"Goat's milk is a lot healthier than cow's milk, since, being closer to human milk than the cows, it provides a rich taste.
"With Nubians, you can usually tell that they are that kind of goat because they have floppy ears and short horns.
The End."
