goats can be kept successfully in all climates <the question is not where CAN they live, it is where do they THRIVE. Goats do best in arid climates, because there is less parasitic activity. however some breeds are better suited for colder climates, some for warmer, it really depends on the breed, but they are very adaptable animals.>
Hard to answer. Humans have removed goats from their origins and put them into places they weren't from originally. The simplest answer is anywhere there is adequate browse and water. Somewhere where there are few natural predators, and places for them to hide from the ones that are there. There are only 2 places, that I am aware of, that are origins for DAIRY goats. The Swiss Alps, and the Sahara Desert. I don't know the origins of the meat goats or the pygmies.

Boer goats originated in Africa. They now reside in most countries of the world. Boers are known as large breed, who does best in a hot dry climate, and who are meat producers, tho they are often crossed out with nubians for milk production.
Hircine or caprine. Female goat is known as a doe. Entire male goats are known as bucks. Castrated male goats are known as wethers. Offspring of goats are known as kids.

Yes. Goats are considered the "Universal Foster Mother." Any animal from apes to human babies to zebras can be fed goats milk and thrive.
Goats can live in grasslands, though the wilder cousins to the more domesticated goats prefer mountainous terrain to the kind of grasslands that exist in Africa or the Great Plains of North America. However, goats are grazers as well as browsers, and thus will thrive in grasslands.
Yes. Goats are browsers and are very effective at eating forbs and shrubs found in the forest. They're actually the best means to use when/if you want to clean out the bush in your backyard!
AnswerIn general, goats thrive in warm, dry climates as they originate from the Middle East. Many goats are feral over parts of Australia for example. But there are some that have been bred to do well in cooler climates. To get an idea of the suitability of different types to the various climate zones, see the Web Link to the left.They thrive on 6 of the 7 continents. All they need is proper food and management. They will die in heat and cold just as easily, if they are lacking bare essentials.
A goat can live in several conditions. They thrive in both hot and cold conditions. Goats do not do well in wet conditions or windy conditions.
