Which only means it's ok in your particular situation, because you have other herd/prey animals with which the goat can hang out.
That's not what you advised, though... What you advised was keeping a single goat. Folks reading this who don't realize that goats need companions read things like this and go "Oh, ok, I'll go get a goat now...."
You'd be shocked at how many people post to BYC asking why their goat is depressed/isn't eating/screams nonstop/follows them around and screams when they get out of site/etc, and whether or not it might be in need of a companion...
I certainly didn't advise OP keep or try out a single qoat... !
