Castaway was probably given the name on purpose, I would guess. My brother's girlfriend is who used to own castaway before selling him to his new owner, and she seems like the type of person to give meaningful names to goats. ^^
I had really never thought about getting goats until my brother got a shiny girlfriend who owned a pretty sizable herd. She decided to sell most her herd, and give the best does to us, and we have goats now! They are now my third favorite creature on the planet. (She got rid of the herd because she and my brother are getting engaged soon. Don't mind my tiny moment filled with excited squeals. I mean, they're just so perfect for each other. They belong in a Hallmark movie. Sorry, I'll move on now.)
I basically take care of them by giving them two flakes of alfalfa every day (7 am/ pm), and this is slightly more than they need, actually. I'll probably start giving them just a bit more every day in a couple months. Not too much, though, because their kids would start to grow large if they were fed too much, and then the labor would be extremely strenuous, with many risks.
Continuing on, I have to make sure their water always stays full. (Fun fact, there are 7 goldfish in their water to eat the algea, and keep it relatively clean.)
They also need a whole mineral with a large percentage of copper due to the low amounts of copper found in California.
Then, they don't usually need to be bathed, but I need to bathe them now because they smell like buck (not a pleasant smell).
I can always post pictures of them during bathtime this weekend, if anybody would like XD
As for intelligence, I would say to imagine a 2 or 3 year old child. They're definitely inquisitive and quick to learn. They're probably slightly duller than a dog. So, yes. I would say they are as smart as is said.
The first week I had them, they're eyes kinda freaked me out, but now I think they're adorable. Especially in the evening, when they're pupils become very large to adjust for the lighting.
