Free goat SVG files

Horns, beards and thin legs

Every file is 100 mm on its longer side. A goat is all fine points: two horns that taper to about 2 mm, a beard, a tail and four legs about 5 mm wide at the cannon. In vinyl, weed towards the tips and burnish the horns last. In card the whole goats cut well down to about 60 mm. In 3 mm plywood or acrylic keep them at 120 mm or wider, or use the goat face or the head in side view, where the horns are thicker.

The breeds are told apart by a few parts. The Nubian has long ears that hang below the jaw and a curved nose; the pygmy goat is short in the leg and round in the body; the show goat has drop ears and horns swept back, like a Boer. If you keep another breed, start from the nearest one and remove the horns or the beard in your cutting software.

On the goat face, each eye is an oval with a level bar across the middle. That bar is the pupil, left in as a bridge about 2 mm wide, so nothing falls out when you cut.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
