Throughout history, humans have cultivated a relationship with sheep and goats, selecting desirable traits for domestication. Their hardiness, social nature, and efficient breeding have allowed them to adapt to numerous climates. Quick recovery of lambs and rich milk production have showcased their vital role in human society.
