If you're the owner of a budding homestead, it's hard to pass up the opportunity to get a goat. They're fun, adorable, and delightfully random—and that's to say nothing about how great goat cheese and goat milk tastes. Goats love to nibble at your clothes, jump, frolic, and do back-flips solely for your entertainment. While they can be kind of high-maintenance, they're worth the extra care for the joy they bring. They're also great at cutting down brush on your property. If you're hoping to bring a goat into your home, you've probably researched various breeds, found a reputable breeder, worked on a housing solution for your yard, and found the perfect goat food to feed your new kid. But what about goat names?
