Goats are terrific pets even though they are typically thought of as farm animals. Their pleasant and inquisitive demeanor makes them enjoyable companions, making them a steadfast favorite in petting zoos. Although there are over 300 different goat breeds, dwarf or pygmy goat variants are the most frequently kept as pets. One of the first species to be domesticated, goats are still raised for their milk, meat, fur, and skin. Because they are herd animals, goats require a companion goat and a sizable fenced yard to wander. Goats require advanced care due to these factors.
