Goats and Sheep can mate, but they typically do not produce viable offspring because they belong to different species with different numbers of chromosomes. Goats are from the species Capra aegagrus hircus, while sheep are from Ovis aries. Any offspring resulting from such a mating would likely be sterile and are not recognized as a distinct species. Therefore, while they can breed, successful reproduction is uncommon.
