    Goats are:

    • Easier to transport from field to field.
    • Easier to erect temporary fencing to keep them in.
    • Less likely to injure an idiot that hops the fence and harasses one.
    • Easier to use on smaller plots.
    • Less of a problem if one escapes.
    • Cheaper individually to replace if someone steals, kills, or injures one.
    • More tolerant of rough terrain.
    • And yes, just like you said, will eat just about anything.

    They’re probably more difficult to sell for meat though.
