How to tame and breed a Goat in Minecraft 1.17
Goats are mainly useful because they are a source of milk. To milk a goat, simply right-click with an empty Bucket on the Goat. Otherwise, they’re not particularly practical animals to keep around, because unlikehorses, they cannot be ridden.

Goat ramming and Screaming Goats explained
About 1 in 50 Goats are Screaming Goats. These Goats are identical to other Goats, but they make - you guessed it - screaming noises periodically, and they also ram much more frequently (their internal timer is set to just 5-15 seconds).
Goat Horns (Bedrock Edition only!)
Goat Horns are an item that only exists in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, not Java Edition. In Bedrock, if a Goat rams a solid block they will drop one of their horns, until they have no horns left.
When you right-click with a Goat Horn in your hand, a war horn sound will play.
Again, this is only the case in Bedrock Edition. In Java, the only thing you can get from a Goat is milk.
