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.
