I have it on good authority that goats were kept in "Tees" a shortened version for TeePees, borrowed from Native Americans LONG before Columbus sailed, eons before he sailed. Goatherders always had a certain kind of inverted V beard which, to this day, is known as a goat-tee, an obvious contraction of goat and teepee. (Well you wouldn't want to sprout a goat-pee, now wouldja?!)
