PRACTICAL ANGORA GOAT RAISING.

sheep herder soon learns the nature of the goat, and 

 when he understands the animal he would rather 

 herd goats than sheep. 



DOCS. 



In some sections of the country sheep-killing 

 dogs have proven a great nuisance to sheep-breeders. 

 To say that the Angora goat will prevent dogs from 

 killing sheep, and that they will drive the dogs away, 

 would be a misstatement. Bucks and grown goats 

 will protect themselves to some extent. If a strange 

 dog attacks a flock in a field, the goats will usually 

 huddle together and the bucks and grown animals 

 will keep the dog at bay. A mother will fight bravely 

 to protect her kid.
