Capra Hircus Research Papers
Legends say goats are the true creators of the deserts, what do you believe? Capra hircus is commonly known as domesticated goats while capra aegagrus are undomesticated goats.
Goats have been domesticated for over 9,000 years. People first domesticated the goat because the animal was a steady source of meat, milk, and fiber. The original goat was in Africa and Asia, they strive in these countries because there is a large and wide variety of plants that ruminant animals thrive on. Fun fact: historically, caprines have been blamed for the creation of some of the world’s major deserts. The four-legged creatures have been around longer and, by comparison, have helped humans more than sheep or even cows. Archaeologists have found capra hircus …show more content…
There’s this four legged creature with two horns coming out of their head. You see that you may be able to use this animal and if anything. It will taste good. You start to leave out food scraps and then after a long period of time, you’re able to touch the capra aegagrus. This is what went through the early humans as they just were starting to learn how to actually domesticate plants. Since the first human contact, goats have been used for many centuries for numerous uses such as; fiber, meat, milk, companionship, pack animals, alarms, and so on. Similarly to homo sapiens, capra hircus was evolving in the same time …show more content…

When showing started, it was full of good friends and good times. Like everything else, things come to an end. It now is all about who has the most money and most people just buy good goats and don’t actually work on their herd using genetics. The bigger the better is typically the term nowadays in the show world. The people who come in crazy fancy trailers and who have the most expensive stuff are usually the people who win everything.
“The shows some years ago used to be about the chance to exhibit your animal and see what others had in comparison to your herd. It was a very fun environment where everyone lended a helping hand to the new folks. It has gotten very cutthroat in some respects and "clicky" if you could say that. There are still judges out there that judge the animal based on it's merit and then there are those that play politics and prefer to look at the individual exhibitor and not the animal.” (James Oller, Harrogate, Tennessee, Artesian Valley Dairy
