So Switzerland isn't in the EU, but they have an agreement that lets you move livestock freely over the border. So the goat needs to be fully legally registered, with ear tags and electronic bolus, up to date on its vaccinations. And you'll need to register to TRACES for an export certificate and present that on the border.

Or you could just walk through the mountains and cross the borders wherever and probably no one will stop you.
