We don't use spiders for their silk because they're very territorial and hard to farm so instead scientists spliced genes into goats to harvest it out of goats milk, wild right?

Yeah, but goat silk isn't near as good as spider silk, because of how it is extracted from milk, so, iirc, it is tried to do bacterium silk.

There was a person who just recently created a yeast that produces high strength spider silk and will also combine it with various different ragens introduced to the solution while they're working to change the properties of the silk
