I recently got into goats. Already have cows, chickens, and pigs on my hobby farm. Goats are without a doubt the most picky. I use pigs and goats for pretty much the same things, land clearing then food. Pigs are pure freaking destroy everything and then still eat what feed you give them. They also tear the crap out of the dirt, but they taste really good.

I agree goats are picky the point that if you keep an on them you can catch them before they tear up anything you want to keep(apple/peach trees). Another thing is goats are just dang fun. Pigs and cows are friendly in a dull sort of way, goats have character & personality. One of my goats will come out of his pen nightly just to hang around with me and the kids. When it gets tired of us he puts him self back in the pen.
