That being said, we now have the canonical word {DI'raq} for "a fluffy, woolly, shaggy Klingon animal [...] similar to a sheep".
You might want to ask yourself what properties of the goat it is you are interested in that would make this word unsuitable. Perhaps something like a {pu' DI'raq}, {veD tIqbe' DI'raq}, {HuD DI'raq} or {Hoch Sopqangbogh DI'raq} or would be suitable?
Goats are also kind of like small sarks, being horselike animals with horns, so something like {tera' SarghHom} might work (although it might also describe a pony).

There is also an animal called a Degebian mountain goat which is apparently known to Klingons; Kor referred to it in a conversation with Worf in an episode of DS9.
However, McCoy also mentions it in a conversation with Kirk in a TOS-era novel, so it's probably not uniquely associated with Klingons.

*{meQbogh naqHom tIq} was used for incense in GILGAMESH. In the past {noSvagh} "deodorant" has been used for both incense and perfume (KBTP) for lack of an alternative.
The spellings *{bolmaq} and *{aDanjI'} both appeared in Keith DeCandido's Klingon pro-novels. The *{bolmaq} was defined as: "An animal native to the planet Boreth that makes a bleating sound and tends to run around in circles a lot." (KRAD).
(Felix, 7/25/2016): Also, according to DeCandido, the {bolmaq} is more similar to a hyena than a sheep. I believe I asked this question in connection with the Minecraft translation.
*Adanji* incense was burned during the Mauk-to'Vor death ritual (DS9 "Sons of Mogh"). In VOY "Nothing Human" B'Ellana was burning some unidentified incense in her quarters when Janeway enters.
B'ELLANA: It's a combination of mental relaxant and expeller of demons.
It's an ancient Klingon remedy.
JANEWAY: Interesting fragrance. I'm surprised it hasn't set off the
environmental alarms.
