A goat is a domesticated member of the Bovidae family, closely related to sheep. Aberforth Dumbledore was fond of keeping goats for pets, once performing illicit charms upon them. Goats are used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins.
Rubeus Hagrid owned a goat in the 1991-1992 and 1992-1993 school years.
In 1991 Severus Snape mentioned that a Bezoar is a stone taken from a goat's stomach.
Aberforth Dumbledore's Patronus Charm took the form of a goat.
