I see goats from time to time grazing in fields. Some people may keep them to keep the grass from growing too tall in a field; others may use them as direct sources of goat milk, which it seems that I've heard that some people can drink when they unable to drink cow's milk for one reason or another.
I remember my father mentioning that they had a goat when he was growing up (in Alabama). But, I think that it was just as a pet. My grandparents in east Tennessee may have had, too, for that matter. One or both of the them had about every conceivable kind of domesticated animal, and possibly most breeds of them, at one time or another. I'll have to ask my mother the next time that I talk to her.

For good or bad I can't talk to some of my neighbors. We have two grocery stores in town that cater to them. So yes, most are from Mexico.
