goat farming

Breeding hoofed ruminants

Goat farming is the practice of raising goats for their milk, meat, fiber, or other products.

Operations range from small homesteads with a few animals to large commercial enterprises.

Goat milk is used for cheese, soap, and drinking; goat meat is a staple protein in much of the world; and certain breeds yield cashmere or mohair fiber.
