Please don’t bite me, I’m a newbie!
I’m a university student in a Wikipedia Education class, and I’m currently learning how to contribute to Wikipedia.
This page is a work in progress and I am approaching my subject in good faith.
Thanks!

Relationship to other bovines
editTo give context to how the Goat split from other bovines and when this occurred.
