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.
