How about a high tensil fabric, made from "spider silk", that is EVEN better than kevlar! What does this have to do with goats? Well, bio-engineered goats produce the recombinant spider silk protein in their milk. This will be collected, purified and spun into fibers for applications in the medical, military and industrial performance fiber markets.
