Group English Project: Goats

Why Goats Are Awesome 

A cute, cuddly, four footed mammal which doesn't like to be cuddled. These creatures come in a variety of flavors and colors, such as black, white, grey and brown. The goat has the reputation to eat almost anything it sees, but they prefer to graze on branches, weeds, and shrubbery. Fun fact of the day! Have you ever wondered how to tell the difference between sheep and goats? Just look at their trails. A goat's tail hangs up while a sheep's tail hangs down. Having a goat is like raising your own kid, no pun intended...a goat can live up to 18 years. 

I've been asked to compare and contrast a goat. When I think of a goat I think of a stinky animal. What do I compare a stinky animal to? Another stinky animal? I'm going to go with goat verses cow. A goat has 4 legs a cow has four legs. A goat has tits/utters that you can pull on and get milk from. A cow also has tits/utters than you can pull on and get milk. I've never had goats milk and I can't say it's something I'd ever want to try. On the other hand I drink milk from a cow on a daily bases. Goats milk just inst as popular as cows milk. Not sure how the process works and how you in fact get cheese from a goat but I've heard of people eating goat cheese but I'm never heard of cow cheese unless it's the skinny cow brand and I'm pretty positive that's not the same thing. Last of all we kill cows and eat their meat. We get hamburger meat and steaks and beef for stew from cows. Do we kill goats for their meat? Can't say I've ever eaten a goat.

      So I guess when we are comparing and contrasting goats we can break it down like this:
Similarities: Both animals stink, have four legs, provide us with milk
Differences: We kill cows so we can eat their meat. We don't kill goats to eat their meat cause unlike cows their meat isn't yummy in my tummy.
Goats can also be milked. you can also butcher goats and make the most tasty goat steaks.
now most people prefer walking there goats or toting them in a wagon. long distant hikers use goats as pack animals  to carry heavy packs. while out in the woods you can read books to your goats and the are pretty good at listening. goats never talk back to you and just head butt you when they would like attention.\
Goats can be smelly and decrease the home value and eat your neighbor’s hands if they get out of “hand“.  They can eat your tin cans losing your 5 cents in Oregon or Maine or Hawaii and you won’t be able to make your budget without the precious cents from the tin cans. You can make goat cheese instead of having to use the Cow cheese or the machine cheese the “Big” governments want you to use. Some say goats are a symbol of the devil O.o.  Also goats make lotsa noises and people need their sleep so they can annoy the general public in the morning. Goats eat your grass, what else are you going to make 15’ year olds do on Saturdays and the summer.  Goats can kill people and when they kill people it makes it less amount of people who can die in wars …. Goats can do good things like make goat sounds and teach kids how to really eat food and stuff. They can make trusty back packs.

Goats are a very strange yet useful creature. What makes a goat a goat? Well the shear fact that it's a goat makes a goat a goat. When it comes to being a goat, a goat is the most goat-like thing you'll get to being a goat. Goats are known for their incredible goat beards. Those beards are just one of the few things that really make a goat stand out among other animals. Not only can male goats have beards, but female goats can as well. Kind of like humans. Also, their horns. Goats can have incredible horns right on top of their heads. Goats also produce cheese and milk. Isn't that cool? I mean, even if goats cheese is really nasty, it's still pretty neat. Did you know goats don't have teeth in their upper right jaw? Maybe that's why they eat so weird. And you know that stereo-type that goats eat everything like garbage, clothes, and tin cans? Well it's not true. Goats tend to have very selective diets.

Goats can be very useful. goats like to eat grass, they make excellent lawn mowers. goats also make great pets. small children can ride goats. some people just use them in petting zoo
