Irish goat

Place of Origin Ireland
Origin The Irish goat breed from Ireland, though not native to Ireland, are domesticated goats that have long been kept for milk, meat, and skin. In many parts of the region, feral populations have become established as a result of escapes or deliberate releases from captivity. Populations have persisted in remote and rugged areas to which the animal is ideally adapted. These goats are nimble-footed on crags and precipitous cliffs.
Purpose Meat, Milk
Characteristics They have a range of colours, but the coat is usually a mixture of grey, black, and brown. Both sexes have horns, larger in the male than in the female.
