You should first check with your zoning to make sure you can have goats where you live.
Goats are herd animals, so you will need at least two. Otherwise, the lone goat will be crying all day, which can be annoying for you and your neighbors and is unfair for the goat.
You can look online at craigslist – usually people will post if they have goats for sale. However, visit the goats at least once before you decide to buy them, to make sure that they are healthy.
Do you have a local fair? If so, you can ask goat breeders there if they have any goats for sale. If you have any local 4-H clubs, you can ask them, too.

I bought a few goats off of craigslist earlier this year. But sometimes people who post ads on there are hard to get in contact with. Also as the person above said you will need to get at least two goats or else they’ll be extra loud and obnoxious not to mention the goat will be lonely,nwhich leads to stress and other serious health problems. They also said you’ll need to check your zoning which is true. You can’t have a goat in the suburbs lol. When you say baby pet goat you have to realize goat can be pets but overall theyre livestock. Pygmy goats are the most breed that are like pets. Be sure to do the research to know what you’re in store for before hand. Goats are very cool animals. I wish ya luck. God bless.
