I've been playing since August 2009, and I don't remember goats and geese ever being available in the store. At least the new players have the option of exchanging gifts, which we didn't when we started. Goats and geese aren't so very useful, anyhow, compared to cows and hens, and I know those were never in the store. And they can buy sheep and llamas.

The geeses were in the store when they first came out. Don't know anything about the goats, but remember buying a geese once I reached the right level to buy them. Wish they were again in the store. I find it takes alot of time to build up ones supplies of animals. I am still collecting turkeys for the feathers. I have enough neighbors, but alot of them don't gift either because it is a nuisance, which it is, as there is no easy way to return gifts. Of course, I would not want to give up the ability to exchange gifts for an easy way to return them. But, I do believe people don't resend gifts because it is a nuisance. Also, I think some don't because they use links to get what they want. In fact, when I posted on facebook that I needed a certain animal, I got a response from someone telling be where to get what I needed. This punishes those of us who only exchange gifts the intended way.

Personally I prefer everything was buyable instead of giftable, trees, animals and products. I bought 100 llamas one day. That was cool.
