The Goat is the eighth animal of the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, the Jade Emperor decided to assign twelve animals to the Zodiac. The announcement went out to the entire land. The order of the animals would be determined by which one arrived at his palace first. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, and Horse were the first seven to arrive, and Goat followed soon after.
Goats, like Horses, are widely liked and almost universally appreciated. Goats have also been integral partners to humanity in the rise of civilization, giving their fleece to make clothes and their milk to be a staple source of nourishment. People born in the year of the Goat are lucky, warm-hearted, gentle, tender, well-mannered, and creative.
