Original players of the GameCube version of A Wonderful Life remember the Goat with mixed memories, but love her or hate her, she’s back inStory of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. Priced rather high for livestock and extremely limited in her availability, the Female Goat only produces milk for one year after you buy her for your farm – thankfully, Goat Milk is well worth the effort to produce it.

Our guide teaches you where to get the goat in A Wonderful Life, when it’s available, how to care for it, and how to get rid of itwithoutkilling it.
How Do You Get The Goat?
In Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, theFemale Goatis only available when youbuy her from Van. He’s only got a Female Goat in stockon Spring Three and Spring Eight of each year.
It costs40,000g, but you can try tohaggle for a lower priceif you’re feeling brave. Van mayknock a percentage off- we got our Goat for 36,000g, which is a ten percent discount just for asking.
When purchased, you, Van, and your new Goat willbe brought to your Farm automaticallyfor a cutscene where you’ll name your new friend.
Vanonly sells the Goat in the Spring, so if you miss it the first time, you’ll need to wait a whole year for another chance to get a Goat.
Additionally, Van does not have the Female Goat in stock during the Spring if youhave a free spot in your Barn.
Milk The Goat For Goat Milk
Using thesame Milker you use for Cows, you canmilk your Goat dailyto receive a few bottles ofGoat Milk.
Also like Cows,Goats like snuggles and being Brushed, so make some time to care for your new friend toimprove the quality of the Goat Milk she produces.
After purchase, a Female Goat isalready fully mature, so she’ll almost immediately begin toproduce Goat Milk for one yearfollowing her arrival on your farm.
You Can Sell The Goat When She Stops Producing Milk
In the original A Wonderful Life, you had to let unwanted animals pass away in order to clear them out of your Barn, but not anymore.
Now, you cansell the Goat when she stops producing Goat Milkafter that one-year window.
To do this, simply head to theLedgerand select the"Sell Animal"option. Choose your Goat from the list, and she’ll begone the following morning.
If you’ve timed this right with your purchases, you may be able to head back to Van andget another Goat for the yearbefore he’s done selling them, so time out your purchases well to maximize your Goat Milk production.
