'attack' is the definition.

'a milk producer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.

This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goat that I've seen before include "Beast (of Capricorn)" , "beast with sharp horns" , "Billy - nanny" , "nanny, for example" , "Domesticated animal supplying milk, meat and wool" .)
