The book takes a look at some of the other hoofed animals kept as livestock or pets, including the goat, sheep, cow, pig, alpaca, and llama.
Goats are plucky, curious animals, known for eating almost anything. (They don’t actually eat tin cans but may nibble on the can’s paper label to see whether or not it tastes good.) Males are called bucks or billies, and females are called does or nannies. Sheep are mild-mannered herd animals that are famous for the wool they grow. Males are called rams, and females are called ewes. Cows are familiar animals to many. The term cow is used both for the animal species and to designate a female cow. A male is called a bull. Both males and females may have horns, depending on the breed. Pigs are highly intelligent and social animals, familiar to many around the world. A pig has hair on its body, but on many breeds, that hair is not particularly thick, and the skin is often visible through it. Female pigs are called sows, and males are boars. Alpacas and llamas are South American camelids (members of the same family, Camelidae, that includes camels). Both animals have very soft hair, called fiber, which can be made into clothing. A female alpaca is called an hembra, and a male is macho. Male llamas are simply called males—or studs if they are breeding. Females are females—or dams if they are mothers. Both alpacas and llamas are known for “spitting, ” though they tend to use spitting for dominance or defense purposes and do not usually direct it at people. Both animals can make a “humming” noise. Alpacas are usually kept for fiber production, while llamas may also be used as guard animals or pack animals.
