Goats are generally low to moderate maintenance animals; they require proper fencing, shelter, adequate nutrition, health care, and grooming especially for fibre breeds. They thrive in social groups and need regular monitoring to maintain their health, but overall their care is manageable for most farmers.

What is the livestock classification or scientific name for goats?
