FACTS OF INTEREST

• The wild goat of southwestern Asia, known as the bezoar, is the ancestor of the domesticated goat. Goats first lived with people 10,000 years ago.
• Goats do well on the poorest land, so are very useful for their milk and meat in areas unsuitable for grazing cows.
• There are several breeds of dairy goat. Nubian goats produce milk rich in butterfat that is very good for making cheese.
• Domestic goats turned wild can be very destructive to the land. They kill vegetation by overgrazing, allowing topsoil to wash away when it rains. When their grazing is controlled, on the other hand, they can provide an inexpensive means of thinning accumulations of brush that pose a fire hazard.

I have quite a few Folkmanis puppets and must say that while I was impressed with the size of the goat both as a stuffed animal and puppet this was the first time I was seriously disapointed in production quality. The fabric is fine but there is a noticeable lack of attention to detail. The eyes seem almost backwards & unable to be adjusted & the inside of the mouth is small for a man's hand and very rough to the point of discomfort if used for a while. Although not a Folkmanis issue mine was squeezed into a box with the donkey that had the same exact production value problems. This caused me to notice they're made in China & may show a change in factories lately. Still cute but those things "got my goat." ;0)

This goat puppet is quality made and overall very nice. The only complaint I have is that the mouth is small and not very mobile. I use this puppet to teach children and, compared to my other Folkmanis puppets, this one takes much more work to use.

My daughter loves her goat puppet. It is larger than we expected, but that makes it more realistic looking.
