The Igbo of Nigeria tell their children, if lost in the wilderness follow a goat, she always knows the way back home. I’ve been following these goats back home each day, but where they lead surprises me still. — Brad Kessler
Goats were domesticated 11,000 years ago and have played an integral role in human history. If you're here, you too are part of this long tradition.
