What is the difference between a goat and sheep?
The main difference is that goats do not grow wool and do not need to be shorn annually as sheep do (except for Angora goats which are shorn twice a year). They are in different genus and cannot breed, they have a different number of chromosomes sheep have 54 while goats have 60 chromosomal pairs. Most goats have horns while sheep do not. Another difference is the tail posture, goat's tails while stand straight up (unless they are sick or frightened), while the sheep's tail will hang down and is often docked. Goats are browers that like to eat the top of plants or bushes rather than the bottoms like the sheep whom are grazers.

What are uses of goats in Africa?
There are so many things that you can use your goat for today; the possibilities are endless! Generally, there are three types of goats: meat goats, angora goats and dairy goats. The meat goats are Boer goats, which is their breed, but often dairy goat wethers (boys that are unable to produce offspring) are killed and eaten. Angora and Cashmere goats are goats that are bred for their wool, just like sheep. Their wool is fluffy and curly. Their are many breeds of Dairy goats, although common are Saanen's, Nubian's, British Alpine's, Toggenburg's, Sables and Australian Melaan. Saanens are white in colour and produce the most milk, although Alpine's milk is creamier. Nubians are strange, as they have very long ears! Although you might be very put off by all those 'My Highland Goatie Oatie Oatie Oatie Oatie' songs and stories about goats eating clothes off your washing line, this is not true! Goats are beautiful and calm creatures that make perfect pets for people of all ages. Please Google pictures of these goats as they are so beautiful. Showing your goats is fun, and anybody can do it! All you need to do is have your goat registered with your dairy branch. Goats parade in a circle and are judged on size, quality and milk. Goat kids are the cutest animals around, as they are so delightfully bubbly in personality. They will jump all over you! There; now do you know what you can do with a goat?!

Can horses live happily with cow's goats and sheep true or false?
True, they make good companions for horses. My pony lived with sheep and cows in her field and even had two sheep in her stable at night. I have to disagree with the above. I believe this may be a question that is true AND false, as it all depends on the individual horse. Some horses may bully cows, goats and sheep until they are sold or die, and other horses will simply ignore them. Often it depends on what the horse has been exposed to when he was young, or how his personality is in terms of accepting animals of a different species in his pasture.
