A goat 🐐.

as pet?

is it true?

well , i have seen someone with pet pig so its possible ti have goat as pet.

The goats are supposed to be very effective as lawn mowers. I'm considering getting a few goats to mow my lawn.
Much cheaper than a robotic lawnmower. Cool

Guess "feeding" on the lawn is what you mean by "mow" in the goat case.

It's actually good to get the animals busy solving problems that benefit others rather than just let them eat, get fat and pampered like children. We all have roles we need to serve that benefit not just ourselves but others, and the world. I don't think it's a good to assign all the roles to machines/robots.

Anyway, I wonder if goats can "mow" the grass as good as the lawn mower, and there is a possibility of overgrazing or ruinning of the lawn by the goats. I guess you'll need to move them from the lawn when the grass needs help or has been eaten down enough.
The lawn benefits from the goats "droppings".

This can be tried in rural areas and not really city or town. I will probably allow residents to use gentle, colorful and less noisy animal if I were a city/town administrator

I read an article about it recently, but I can't find it now. Here's a brief summary:
Mowing the Lawn with Goats and Other Animals

Goats are great for this job. There are actually several small businesses in California that offer “goat mowing services” to manage fire hazard areas to control weeds and grasses. Companies like Google periodically bring in 200 goats to roam around for a week, eat the grass and fertilize it at the same time.
