Goats like to get on their knees when they eat. Goats are not grazers and it is sometimes easier for them to eat while on their knees.

While the above answer is true in parts it is also true that goats get on their knees to eat because of painful arthritis or laminitis (inflammation in their feet). Can be caused by over eating OR a nasty contagious arthritis.

They might have sore feet as in footrot, be lame or have Arthritis. But once the sheep picks up this habit of kneeling to eat it is quite difficult to change its behaviour.
