My son would like to know if goats have good hearing.

Goats make excellent "guard dogs". They hear quite well and are protective of their human "friends" if they develop a relationship. My aunt use to live alone on 15 acres and kept them as guards and pets, and they would alert her if anyone was around.

Prey/herd animals have great hearing and vision. It helps them be aware of potential or approaching danger. My goat was really protective of me too.

Thanks everyone!
