Dear Kathy,
Try these two about the Kalasha, who have a few sheep but are
very focused on goats:
Parkes, Peter
1987 Livestock
symbolism and pastoral ideology among the Kafirs of the Hindu Kush.
Man 22(4):637-660.
Parkes, Peter
1992 Reciprocity
and redistribution in Kalasha prestige feasts. In Animals and Their
Products in Trade and Exchange. A. Grant, ed. Pp. 37-46.
Anthropozoologica, No. 16.
There is also this one about sheep and goat movements:
Mashkour, Marjan,
Hervé Bocherens, and Issam Moussa
2005 Long distance
movement of sheep and goats of Bakhtiari nomads tracked with
intra-tooth variations of stable isotopes (13C and 18O). In Diet
and Health in Past Animal Populations: Current Research and Future
Directions. J. J. Davies, M. Fabis, I. L. Mainland, M. P.
Richards, and R. Thomas, eds. Pp. 113-124. Oxford: Oxbow.
Archaeologically,
the earliest levels at Mehrgarh (Pakistan) have domestic goat but not
sheep or cattle:
Meadow, Richard
H.
1998 Pre- and proto-historic agricultural and
pastoral transformations in northwestern South Asia. The Review of
Archaeology 19(2):12-21.
I have the
impression that goats and cattle are often combined in African
pastoralism.

Hello all,
I am looking for ethnographic and archaeological
references to goat pastoralism-- preferably in the absence of sheep.
I'm interested in the range of herding strategies possible solely with
goats, as well as with minimal sheep presence. I'd be grateful for
suggestions.
Thank you in advance!
