Hey, here is my understanding about this. Hope it would help.
The animal GOAT exists in the traditional Chinese culture; while the SHEEP and RAM were in the western culture. As the animal sign is also a kind of traditional Chinese culture, so they use the Chinese traditional animal goat to refer to this.
