What you wants with these goats anyway? Little or nothin. Good fresh milk. God's best cheese. You have any other animals? said Suttree. Dog or anything? No. Just goats. I think a feller gets started with goats he just more or less sticks to goats.
In "Suttree" by Cormac McCarthy, a conversation reveals simple yet profound insights about the significance of goats and their products. One character explains that goats require minimal investment but provide valuable resources such as fresh milk and cheese. The exchange highlights a commitment to these animals, suggesting that once someone begins raising goats, they tend to focus exclusively on them.
This dialogue captures the essence of simplicity and the practicality of goat farming. It reflects a lifestyle where the needs are modest, and the rewards, like nutritious milk and cheese, are invaluable. Through this exchange, McCarthy illustrates a deeper connection to nature and the dependency on humble livestock for sustenance.
