Goats

Goats (Q. Naico; S. Naeag; PQ. Nayak; Tel. Nayako; Ad. Kuzî, Ans. Kuzan; Kh. Rûzun) are a hardy source of sustenance. Though more temperamental then sheep, they are less aggressive than pigs and can eat almost anything that grows; they are often set to graze on downlands where sheep and cattle would starve. Goats smell worse than sheep, of course, even by farmer's standards; their distinctive, aromatic milk and cheeses are most enjoyed by consumers who live a good distance from the source.
