Description
Goat Eating. Painterly effect with Topaz and Photoshop editing adjustments.
This capture is from a local, Orange County, California, semi-rural residential area, Orange Park Acres, that allows livestock on their properties. This hornless goat was chewing on hay when this shot was captured.
The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the family Bovidae and is closely related to the sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamily Caprinae. There are over 300 distinct breeds of goat. Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species, and have been used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins over much of the world.
Female goats are referred to as "does" or "nannies;" intact males are called "bucks" or "billies;" and juveniles of both sexes are called "kids". Castrated males are called "wethers". Goat meat from younger animals is called "kid" or cabrito (Spanish), while meat from older animals is known simply as "goat" or sometimes called chevon, or in some areas "mutton" (which more often refers to adult sheep meat). (Wikipedia).
As one of the only true dual purpose goats bred to excel in both milk and meat production,
the Kinder goat is ideal for the hobbiest, homesteader and goat enthusiast. The Kinder
goats' medium size (averaging 100-125 pounds) makes them easy to handle, a safe choice
for families and lone handlers, and their friendly personalities make them a joy to be around.
