I would be expected to deliver the kid, perform open heart surgery on the nanny, castrate the billy. I would be on 24/7 standby in case of goat illness or accident, but not just for goats - I'd be expected to deal with sheep, elephants, gorillas and terrapins as well. I'd have to look into the DNA of the ocelots and decide if the Maker had slipped up while designing them, and if so come up with a breeding plan to improve the stock, and make sure all the other farms appplied the same cure too. I'd nurse along the last remaining dodos until Dodo-Switch-Over, then I would have to rectify any genetic disorders with the new breed of fowl that has been delivered to the zoo to replace the dead dodos. I'd have to climb into the tallest treetops to inspect and repair any ultra-high frequency ants I found up there. I have to make sure all the feed dishes stay in place for various lynx. I have to keep the deionized water supply nice and pure for the steam cooled goat houses. Milking and de-horning a goat is child's play. That's what the apprentices do....
