Happy, lively, and vocal are all words we could use to describe goats! Now, these wouldn’t be your average city pets, but for those rural folk, goats are often a common part of the family. They bring a certain laidback and loving vibe to any place they are spotted.
Bright-eyed newborns turn into rambunctious and dare-devilish kids, and finally, grow into wise and all-knowing goats. With silly tufts of fur on their chins and intense betty eyes, you’ll occasionally find these mammals riding around on the backs of their fellow farm friends.
