Ok, I had to look it up because now I am curious. It appears as if goats, sheep, and cattle all belong to the same order, but not the same family. Its here they seperate. Pronhorns are in their own family called Antilocapridae and cattle and true antelope are in Bovidae. I think that is right, all I know is they stink like a goat.
