There is a current belief that among the goats of the Southwest there is found a strain that originates in the Island of Malta. There was actually one importation of Maltese goats made to this country, but owing to the appearance of Malta fever among them, these animals were destroyed as a precautionary measure. However, a good many goats in this region show in some deeree the drooping ears and the pendulous udder that are said to be characteristic of Maltese goats. These points appear in the animal pictured above. Doubtless the stock imported from Spain during the centuries of the Spanish settlements did include some infiltration of Mal- tese blood, which still appears in occasional instances, although the goats of the Southwest are prevaihngly Alpine in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Richards, Irmagarde.
