Goats have been a major source of food since time immemorial. Ancient cave paintings show the hunting of goats. They are also one of the oldest domesticated animals on earth. Goat meat can be stewed, curried, baked, grilled, barbecued, minced, canned, or made into sausage. Goat milk and the cheese made from it has remained popular throughout history and still is consumed on a more extensive basis worldwide than cow's milk.
In addition to food, goats provided early man with skins to make into cloaks, their hair was woven into yarn, and was then-as it is now-a symbol of wealth. To own many goats meant you were well-off and would never face starvation.
