Raising Goats on a Diet of Prickly-Pear and Scrub-Oak 



A herd of angora goats 

 feeding upon a Govern- 

 ment scrub-oak range 

 in Arizona. Goats are 

 notorious for their di- 

 gestive apparatus, eat- 

 ing everything, appar- 

 ently, except rocks. 

 For this reason they 

 play havoc with a 

 cattle range but clear 

 out scrub-oak thickets 



A herd of healthy 

 angoras coming down 

 to a watering place for 

 their daily drink at 

 Eagle Pass, Texas. 

 They have been graz- 

 ing in prickly-pear 

 thickets. It takes 

 about four acres to 

 feed a goat, according 

 to a Government 

 investigation record
