Pet Billy

 We were poor growing up and often had weird pets.  Dad said this Billy goat was Fleta’s and mine, but he had a small herd cleaning brush from a hill.  I think he just said the goat was ours and chuckled to himself!  

A baby goat is called a kid.

Goats are sociable animals and therefore become depressed if they are separated or isolated from their companions.

They are one of the cleanest animals and are much more selective eaters than cows, sheep, pigs, swine and even dogs.

Goats are very intelligent and curious animals. Their inquisitive nature is exemplified in their constant desire to explore and investigate anything unfamiliar which they come across.

They communicate with each other by bleating. Mothers will often call to their young (kids) to ensure they stay close-by.
