Goat

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 Bovidae family and is closely related to the sheep, both being in the goat antelope sub-family Caprinae.

Domestic goats are one of the oldest domesticated species. For thousands of years, goats have been used for their milk, meat, hair and skins over much of the world. In the last century they have also gained some popularity as pets.

Kamal Zaman jokingly referred to Sophia Bossedon's blind date with him as the result of her parents paying with "four goats, or maybe three."
