A female goat is called a "doe" or "nanny" and a male goat is called a "buck" or "billy." Both male and female goats can have beards. Baby goats are called "kids." Even though goats are famous for having a healthy appetite, it is unlikely that a goat would actually eat a clarinet. I wouldn't trust one around my reeds, though.

Helpful Suggestions
