Goats are passive creatures that are commonly kept as livestock in Tamriel. In the wild, they can usually be found on mountain slopes. They are hunted for their hide, meat, and horns. Goats are also kept by mortals for their milk, which can be drunk or used to make cheese. Goats are also kept as pets. Every part of the goat is suitable for eating, except the horns. Goat horns are used to make a variety of products, such as bugles and holders for light sources, such as candles.
Goats are commonly used as sacrifices in Daedric rituals, and some are bred explicitly for this purpose. The white goats of Ninendava are rumored to lead mortals through some of said rituals. The brown goats that hail from the Dragontail Mountains are stronger than they appear. The goats of Wrothgar are hardy and well-suited to the region's rugged terrain and changeable climate. Orc goatherds tend to prize their Buck Goats, which have a tendency to be intelligent and pugnacious. These goats make for good companions. Goat specters can be found in Hircine's Hunting Grounds. The goats that live along the mountains of Skyrim have shaggy pelts.
Some of the Reachfolk clans ritually sacrifice goats as a form of offering to the ghosts of venerated ancestors and ancient heroes.
