How do you hide a baby goat you impulsively bought?
As asked. It’s a small goat.

You need to include more details. If you live in or near the woods, you might have a shot. Do you know anyone with a big fenced in yard with lots of tall weeds?
The owner can’t, unless they find another home and pay for its care.
One doesn’t hide a baby goat. If one makes a mistake, one fixes said mistake.
Is that the stupid thing you thought you were gonna do? :P

FOR SALE, CHEAP! Environmentally friendly lawn mower.
Well, my husband (as a young man still living at home) hid it in his van. Then, in the morning, when his mom went to move the car, she was in for quite a surprise. So I hear.
Look into lending to a zoo. Or a vet. Or a petting zoo.
Why hide it? Bring your goat out with pride!
Convert your local green space into a goat theme park and let it loose.
Since this is Social I will add that my sister bought a massive house in Portland on Monday. The lot is a acre and it has a koi pond in the backyard.
It has a finished basement with a bathroom that is 1000 square feet that will all be mine and my moms. We will build walls before I move in to make it into a two bedroom apartment.
And the place has a nice sized workshop. So I will finally have the space to start a woodworking workshop. This is kinda like all my dreams coming true. And she started house shopping on Friday. Kinda quick but the place is fantastic and cheaper than renting. They were seconds away from renting a place that was 3K a month and I said I didn’t really want to live in the house they were planning on renting.
What they got is 1600 a month for a mortgage and 6K down. (Thanks VA). It went from us (me and my mom) paying 1000K to live in the rental to just paying the comcast bill and I have to be tech support.
But I am so very excited about buying some woodworking equipment and having the space to make some great furniture. It is pretty crazy… The last few years have felt like being in prison with pizza and beer. Now I kinda feel like I am presented with the opportunity to really spice up my life.
And yeah… We have a half acre lawn at the new place. Mail me the goat and it will have tons to eat.
@johnpowell Congrats! That is awesome news. I dream of having more space or just a shed or a garage to store things. I unner you.
Go to your local butcher and have it turned into discreet packages.
@johnpowell Best wishes for your new home (though prison with pizza and beer didn’t sound so bad).
Congrats on your new place @johnpowell. Sounds fabulous! Slow-roasted goat Greek style (I couldn’t really do that!)
@johnpowell That is great for all of you!!! They just got the best tech support in the world!!!
You’re kidding, right?
Cabrito burritos are delicious and, wrapped in foil, nobody will know what kind of meat.
Whoa, a 1000 square foot bathroom? I can only imagine what the rest of the house must be like, @johnpowell. You might have a shot at hiding a goat in such a house, yourself.
But my advice to the OP would be “If you’re the cook at the joint, then you can hide nearly anything in the freezer, as long as it’ll fit.”
It’s a tricky question, I kid you not.
I live in a normal subdivision, almost out in the country (that is, there are cows and horses across the street), in suburban Atlanta. My neighborhood is zoned residential – not agricultural.
My neighbor had three goats in the back yard of their house. No big deal from my point of view; they made their maa-ing sound from time to time, but they didn’t stink or anything else.
Anyway, the neighbor on their other side called the County on them, and the goats were picked up by animal control and (not sure what happened to them). The people moved away within a month or two.
So this is a long way of saying that goats in a residentially-zoned area are a definite no-no. Not sure about your theoretical situation, but don’t count on bringing the goat home.

My SIL raises pygmy goats. They are hard to hide. They make loud noises and jump a lot.
P.S. Congrats @johnpowell! It sounds like things are finally looking up for you.
@johnpowell So happy for you! I donated a table saw to Habitat a few months ago. Too big to ship to you anyway, I guess. Have a workmate bench to get rid of too. :-P That is really wonderful news!
@SergeantQueen Since you say the goat is hypothetical, I suggest you hide it in the hypothetical barn.
@johnpowell, congrats! It sounds beautiful!
You see, I said the goat would be a good lawnmower.
Goats are adorable. I would love one as a pet.
Not to rain on the goat love fest, but…
@SergeantQueen‘s account no longer exists. It’s doubtful that that the goat belonged to the OP anyway because, a.) the OP said it was a hypothetical question and, b.) This.
I have no idea why my account keeps getting Banned. I contact the mods, and then I get it back again.
It was a hypothetical. I literally based it off that exact same picture @pied_pfeffer posted. I was actually curious as to how one would hide a baby goat
Oh please send me the goat! I had goats when I was a kid :-)
@johnpowell 1000 sq ft bathroom? Your one bathroom fills ¾ of my house! Very nice.
My back yard area can’t be mowed because of its steepness and tree stumps. A goat could do the job nicely.
The goats especially like rose bushes and berry bushes, I’ll tell how I know if you want.
Just hide it in the laundry hamper, problem solved. What baaaa? Oh, that was me. I’m uh – just practicing for my role as Uncle Scrooge in next years Christmas play. Baaaaa Humbug. Yea, I’ll knock their socks off,
Hope you have lots of pet goats wherever you are now, JP.
