The Leaping Goat weathervane featured above was made in a combination of copper and brass. We used brown glass taxidermy eyes to give the goat a more lifelike appearance. In addition to this Billy goat weathervane we also offer an Alpine Goat Weathervane and a Nubian Goat weathervane. Please click on the thumbnails above for more information on these weathervanes.
Leaping Goat Sculpture Please click on the thumbnail above to view larger image
The photo above shows a different application for our sculpture piece. This customer was originally from Switzerland and had fond memories of the old world signage found in many European cities. As a gift to his wife, he had us create the Goat sculpture piece which he then attached to a custom made sign near the entry to their home.
The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a domesticated subspecies of the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the Bovidae family and is closely related to the sheep, both being in the goat antelope subfamily Caprinae.
Domestic goats are one of the oldest domesticated species. For thousands of years, goats have been used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins all over the world. In the last century they have also gained some popularity as pets.
The domestic goat's most often seen color is of an ivory hue, and the rarest colors are of a cyan hue. Female goats are referred to as “does” or “nannies” (or, less frequently, as “mishas”), intact males as “bucks” or “billies”; their offspring are “kids”. Castrated males are “wethers”. Goat meat is sometimes called “chevon”.
