From the following, which breed is recognized as a common goat breed?

Nubian
Angus
British Blue
Charolais

The correct answer is: Nubian

The Nubian breed is recognized as a common goat breed due to its distinct characteristics and wide usage in both dairy and meat production. Nubians are known for their long, floppy ears and unique blend of dairy and meat qualities, which makes them popular among goat farmers. They have a rich milk with a higher butterfat content compared to some other breeds, making them especially valued in cheese production. This breed’s adaptability to various environments and their typically docile nature further enhance their popularity in both small and large-scale farming. In contrast, Angus, British Blue, and Charolais are all cattle breeds, not goat breeds, which highlights the specific recognition of the Nubian breed within the correct context of agricultural livestock.
