Description
Photograph of a large herd of hundreds of Angora goats in a field near Moenave, close to Tuba City, Arizona, ca.1900. One man stands at left center tending the goats as they graze on the gently sloping field. Another bush-dotted field is visible in the background.
Herds of Angora goats are used in forestry in order to keep down the underbrush in order to better control the outbreak and movement of forest fires.
