Here is another response I received:

Eileen, we never allow goats and pigs together.

We did at first, however there are many problems with that.
Goats can break a pigs neck by butting them. It has happened, although not here.
Goats poop anywhere they feel like it. This distresses the pigs, since they like to keep their houses clean. The goats will go into the piggy houses and poop all over. The pigs are very upset at the messes the goats make in the piggy houses.
Feeding time is always a problem, because the goats do not eat the same feed as the pigs and the pigs don't care what feed it is. They want to eat it too.

In general it is not a good thing at all to put them in the same yard.
