Would you like to have pet goats?

Like dogs, if goats are presented with a puzzle they can't solve, they will look to people for help.

Goats can distinguish between humans who are happy or angry and prefer to spend time with happy people. Dogs and horses are also sensitive to human facial cues.

Maybe. I don't think I would like to live on a farm though.

So are most farm animals. Does not make it wrong to eat them though.

Oh yes, they're very much like dogs and they love pets.

Goats are awesome, but I kinda wonder if they might be more dangerous than a dog with those horns. Plus I wonder about the care. The kinda plus is they can take care of your lawn.

I've never been headbutted by one of my goats. And my goats are pretty small so even if they did it wouldn't hurt much. A lot of owners have their goats disbudded as babies so they can't grow horns, but I prefer to leave them on. The horns act as radiators when it's hot.

The biggest problem with caring for goats is finding a vet; very few still handle livestock anymore. I do have to feed them during the winter, but they don't really eat that much (compared to a horse) and once spring comes around they can pretty much take care of themselves. They just need fresh water, a salt lick, and I occasionally have to sweep up their pellets in the barn. And of all the animals people keep as pets, goats have some of the least offensive poop, just small "jelly beans".

As far as farm animals are concerned, I think goats are the GOAT.

Yep, I liked having goats. The only problem is that they kept getting their horns stuck in the fence.

I heard thats why some people were removing the horns. My co-workers like them having horns, though. I do, as well... But I guess I understand why some people remove them...

You gotta let the horns grow out, then when they're big enough, you fill them with alcohol

I imagine a goat filled with alcohol would be a good friend to party with
