	Breeds of Livestock - Goat Breeds
		The goat, along with sheep, were among the earliest domesticated animals.
		Goat remains have been found at archaeological sites in western Asia, such as Jericho, Choga, Mami, Djeitun and Cayonu, which allows domestication of the goats to be dated at between 6000 and 7000 B.C. However, unlike sheep, their ancestry is fairly clear.

	Goats
		Goats were one of the very first animals to be domesticated by humans, some 10,000 years ago. The total world population of goats is now estimated to be around 765 million, although it is impossible to obtain a truly accurate figure for this as many are farmed in developing countries where records are scarce.
		Goats usually produce 2 kids and once these babies have had 24 hours feeding from their mothers they are removed and reared using artificial teats so that the milk can be sold for human consumption. Fibre producing breeds are usually reared by their mothers until 12-14 weeks of age.
		As with most cloven-hoofed animals, goats require their feet to be clipped on a regular basis unless they are on really hard ground much of the time (as they would be in their natural, upland terrain).
