Irish Goats are long-haired goats
from Ireland used for milk, meat, and skins. Although not native to Ireland,
domesticated goats have long been raised in Ireland. In many areas feral
populations have become established as a result of escapes or deliberate
releases from captivity. Iris Goat populations have persisted in remote and
rugged areas which they are ideally adapted - Irish Goats are nimble-footed on
crags and precipitous cliffs. They range widely in colors; however, they are
usually a mixture of grey, black, and brown. Both genders have horns, but the
males have larger horns.
