Abstract

Goats and sheep have traditionally been production animals and continue to provide meat, milk, and clothing worldwide. However, the pet sheep and especially the pet goat have become much more common than even 10 years ago. Basic husbandry, handling, and common diseases of goats and sheep are discussed.
