用法筆記
Frequently appears in farming and petting-zoo contexts. The compound is especially common when the speaker needs to make clear that the goat is female, often in direct or implied contrast with 'billy goat'. In neutral descriptions where sex is irrelevant, prefer just 'goat'. The baby goat is called a kid, not a 'baby goat.'
