Goats are stout-bodied with horns and cloven hooves. There are two types of goats: domestic goats hircus , which are raised and bred as farm ; and mountain goats Oreamnos americanus , which live in steep, rocky areas in the American Northwest. Mountain goats can weigh from to lbs. Their black horns grow up to 8 to 12 inches 20 to 30 cm long. They do not shed their horns, so a goat's age can be determined by counting the annual growth rings. One of the smallest breeds, the , weighs about 20 lbs. Pygmy goats weigh from 53 to 86 lbs. The Anglo-Nubian goat weighs up to lbs. The wide spread of their cloven hooves allows them to climb steep mountain sides with ease. They usually live in elevations of 3, to 16, feet 1, to 5, meters above sea level. Domestic goats are raised all over the world in almost every type of terrestrial biomes. The main habitat requirements for a domestic goat are grass to eat and a clean, ventilated shelter, according to the ADW. Excellent surprise! Real good movie and what a cast!!! I am a David Duchovny and Vera Farmiga fan, and they were great, but the 16 year old who was the star don't know his name really outperformed everybody. Great job! The movie was funny, it definitely was a comedy, but had its moments of sadness and reflection too. I do have to come back to great and varied cast though, not just the big names, but also the room mate at the school, the girl at the school, the boyfriend only know him as "Andy" from "Weeds" , the Dad Modern Family guy , the girlfriend, really liked them all. I was with 3 other people, all liked the movie too and only heard good comments on the way out. Looking for some great streaming picks?

Several mythological creatures are believed to consist of parts of the goat, including the Chimera. The Capricorn sign in the Western zodiac is usually depicted as a goat with a fish 's tail. Fauns and satyrs are mythological creatures that are part goat and part human. Popular Christian folk tradition in Europe associated Satan with imagery of goats. The origin of this belief was probably the behavior of the buck in rut , the very epitome of lust. The common medieval depiction of the devil was that of a goat-like face with horns and small beard a goatee. The Black Mass , a probably mythological "Satanic mass", involved Satan manifesting as a black goat for worship. The goat has had a lingering connection with Satanism and pagan religions , even into modern times. The inverted pentagram , a symbol used in Satanism, is said to be shaped like a goat's head. The " Baphomet of Mendes " refers to a Satanic goat-like figure from 19th-century occultism. Knut's Day , January 13—involves young men dressed as goats Finnish: Nuuttipukki who visit houses. Usually the dress was an inverted fur jacket, a leather or birch bark mask, and horns. Unlike the analogues Santa Claus , Nuuttipukki was a scary character cf. The men dressed as Nuuttipukki wandered from house to house, came in, and typically demanded from the household and especially leftover alcoholic beverages. However, nowadays the character is usually played by children and now involves a happy encounter. Goatee refers to a style of facial hair incorporating hair on a man's chin , so named because of some similarity to a goat's facial feature. Goats are mentioned many times in the Bible. Their importance in ancient Israel is indicated by the seven different Hebrew and three Greek terms used in the Bible. It was also acceptable for some kinds of sacrifices. Goat-hair curtains were used in the tent that contained the tabernacle Exodus Its horns can be used instead of 's horn to make a shofar. One was sacrificed and the other allowed to escape into the wilderness, symbolically carrying with it the sins of the community. From this comes the word " scapegoat ". A leader or king was sometimes compared to a male goat leading the flock. In the New Testament Matthew 25 , Jesus returned to Jerusalem the first day of the week Sunday before his crucifixion. Having visited the Jewish Temple, Jesus met with his disciples on the Mount of Olives outside the city. At the end of an extended discourse he told of a time after his Resurrection when he would return in glory and sit in judgement of Gentile nations of the world using a metaphor of the Sheep and the Goats. Commonly sheep and goats grazed together in mixed herds. In Matthew —46, Jesus said that like a shepherd he will separate the nations placing on his right hand the sheep, those who have shown kindness to needy and suffering disciples of Jesus and others. These he will reward, but the goats at his left hand, who failed to show kindness, will be punished. Although both sheep and goats were valued as livestock, this preference for sheep may relate to the importance of wool and the superior of adult sheep compared to the poor meat of adult goats [77]. Goats readily revert to the wild become feral if given the opportunity. The only domestic animal known to return to feral life as swiftly is the cat. When feral goats reach large populations in habitats which provide unlimited water supply and which do not contain sufficient large predators or which are otherwise vulnerable to goats' aggressive grazing habits, they may have serious effects, such as removing native scrub , trees and other vegetation which is required by a wide range of other creatures, not just other grazing or browsing animals. Feral goats are common in Australia. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Domesticated mammal Capra aegagrus hircus. This article is about the domesticated species of goat.

Mountain goats can weigh from to lbs. Their black horns grow up to 8 to 12 inches 20 to 30 cm long. They do not shed their horns, so a goat's age can be determined by counting the annual growth rings. One of the smallest breeds, the Nigerian dwarf goat, weighs about 20 lbs. Pygmy goats weigh from 53 to 86 lbs. The Anglo-Nubian goat weighs up to lbs. The wide spread of their cloven hooves allows them to climb steep mountain sides with ease. They usually live in elevations of 3, to 16, feet 1, to 5, meters above sea level. Domestic goats are raised all over the world in almost every type of terrestrial biomes. The main habitat requirements for a domestic goat are grass to eat and a clean, ventilated shelter, according to the ADW. Goats are very social creatures and live in groups called herds, which may contain as many as 20 goats in the wild, according to National Geographic. Mountain goats are most social during the winter and tend to go solo in the summer. In herds, there is a dominant female throughout the year, until mating season. At this time a male dominates the herd. Many times, males only live with a few other males or by themselves, year-round. Goats typically spend their days grazing on grasses within their home range, which is an area of about 14 square miles 23 square kilometers , according to the ADW. Mountain goats will dig 1 to 1 inch 25 to 50 mm depressions in the ground to sleep, rest and dust bathe in. Goats are herbivores, which means they eat only vegetation. Their favorite food is grass, though mountain goats also eat mosses and plants. Altai Mountain. American Cashmere. Anglo-Nubian Nubian. Arapawa Island. Australian Goat. Belgian Fawn. . Canary Island.

Check with your local vet for other vaccinations recommended for your area. Some experienced may immunize their own goats; new owners and breeders should take their goats to the local vet for vaccines. Worming should be done several times a year. Your vet can suggest any special supplements such as selenium , additional immunizations and a recommended wormer and worming schedule for your particular herd based on your area and known preventative health measures. Dwarf shows are growing in popularity and are becoming more readily available all over the country. Shows are fun, educational and a great way to meet other breeders and owners. They are a place to sell your goats or obtain superior stock for breeding. Shows or event information can be obtained through registries, local goat clubs and organizations, including NDGA. Although they have similar origins, Nigerian Dwarfs and African Pygmies are separate and distinct breeds, with recognized differences. Color is one of the factors that makes breeding Dwarfs so popular. Main color families are black, chocolate, and gold with virtually every color combination imaginable being produced. Dwarfs can be dalmatian-spotted, pinto-patterned, tri-colored or just classy shades of solid jet black, white, chocolate or gold. Brown eyes are the most common; however, dwarfs with China blue eyes are becoming increasingly popular and available. NDGA was formed in and is the only registry and show sanctioning organization dedicated exclusively to the Nigerian Dwarf . NDGA is funded through goat registrations and transfers, annual membership dues, and fundraising activities. All of these publications are included with membership.

Hi Lori, it can depend on the goat and whether she is lonely, in heat, or needs something. But my perception is that Nigerian Dwarf goats are in the middle. I have a concern with my girls. I would like to breed them but they turned 4 this year. What are the chances they could possibly have complications with delivery. I was told they are a great age for breeding, then told they are to old. So now sounds like a great time to breed! Nigerian Dwarf goats can have extreme complications during delivery if the buck is a larger breed like a standard-sized goat, so stick with other Nigerian Dwarf bucks or maybe Pygmy goats or Kinders. Do you know of a reputable we may look into for breeders to start our herd? Real good movie and what a cast!!!
