The Red Mediterranean (Italian:Rossa Mediterranea or Derivata di Siria) goat breed originates from the central-eastern Mediterranean Basin, originally coming from Syria. It usually has a reddish-brown coat coloration. It has been raised and selectively bred, particularly in the Basilicata and Sicily, for the production of milk for making local varieties of cheese.
Famous quotes containing the word red:
“All those girls
who wore the red shoes,
each boarded a train that would not stop.
Stations flew by like suitors and would not stop.
They all danced like trout on the hook.
They were played with.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
