How do you tie a zero dimensional point goat? How do you know he's in the fence at all? How does he chew the grass? Where does the grass go?

And having discovered the goat, how do you put a tether on something with no size?

You'd need a special rope to tie it as well, in addition to low-dimensional fencing and specialized grass.

Literally every one of these questions pertains to real goats, too.

... are you serious? You use an infinitely thin rope of course!

Slightly more seriously, you take the limit of a alpha-sized goat tied with an alpha-sized rope as alpha goes to zero from above.
