Goats need shelter, usually a barn, they also like to have straw in the barn, they need regular food and water too. It seems to me that it is cruel to leave them on lines, any predators like large dogs could possibly attack and hurt them badly. They really can do a good job of clearing a lot of weeds etc.
If you have a young goat they are a wonderful and smart pet, they also need to see a veterinarian too. I raised a baby goat who became almost part of the family, he would come when I called his name, he was mischievous, love to have a saltine cracker as a treat, in fact he came up on my deck at regular times of the day, ate two crackers and drank a bowl of water, which he loved if it was slightly warm. So please treat the goats well!
