They're great for keeping a pasture tamed for sure, and I realize they're lovable creatures, but their rectangular pupils creep me out and they smell to high heaven when they get wet.. I think they'll get used to being out there without you all the time. Maybe they were raised with humans constantly with them? Just make sure they have a shelter enclosed on three sides that's not open to the prevailing wind.

Goats??!! Oh how I would LOVE to have the honor of goats living on my property! (don't think that would quite work here in Miami )

Where are you located and how many acres do you have?

I fed what I thought were goats, but they turned out to be sheep!
I love them all!!!

Do you have any other animals?

We had neighbors who had a very peculiar and sad situation with their goats.
There were two pregnant nannies. One was older and dominant, the other younger and more passive. They seemed to be good buddies.
The younger nanny gave birth to a pair of females, and first one baby kid died, then they watched the dominant female butt the other and figured out what was happening, but it was too late--it died too.
Then the older nanny gave birth to a baby billy goat, and she was a good mother to him. Too bad about those poor little female kids.
BTW
The kids did cry a little, but not that much.
I've heard dogs that were much worse.

nuetered males and dehorned.You cannot seperate the two for a second
without them getting crazy.I also have a blue-nosed pitbull and he gets along wonderful with them.It's follow the leader when we're out in the pasture,if I start to run the three of them are running along side me.I have a tendacy to spoil any pets I have! I have been thinking thinking of taking my little family and moving to W.V.

We had two baby billies that we turned out in the yard then when they were done with the bottle we put them on a leash to eat the grass along the fences. As long as they could see the house and each other they were fine. We named them Pepsi and Dew, after the bottles they were fed out of. We eventually gave them to my husband's nephew for more weed control.

I have a friend in TN that raises the fainting goats and makes a fortune with them. Hers are just adorable and I am thankful that she is so far away, for now, or I would own a ton of them!!!

Whenever we had a horse with seperation anxiety we always got them a goat for a companion. Maybe the reverse would work, and you could get a pony who needs a good home, or a donkey to keep them company.
