Yes mixed flocks of Goats and Sheep can do very well together. That being said there are some important considerations. The adult animals should be of similar sizes. If the animals are not used to living in a mixed group, ideally you would pen or cage them side by side so that they could see and smell one another but not physically touch. Once they were comfortably ignoring each other through the barrier getting them together in a confined area where no one can back up very far to get a running start to bash another is a good idea. Finally put them together with lots of feeder space at feeding time and remain to watch until you are certain that no animal is being harassed or picked on in your new flock.
