What is a "goat"?

Goats are domesticated animals known for their versatility, hardiness, and unique characteristics. They are typically raised for their milk, meat, fiber (such as cashmere, mohair, or Angora), and as companion animals. Goats come in various sizes, breeds, and coat colors, and they are known for their distinctive horns, beards, and playful personalities. Goats are ruminant animals that are adapted to graze on a wide range of vegetation, making them well-suited to different environments and climates. They are social animals that can form strong bonds with their human caretakers, and they are known for their agility, curiosity, and ability to thrive in challenging conditions. Goats have been domesticated for thousands of years and have a long history of providing food, fiber, and companionship to humans around the world.
