What is significant about the mention of the goat?

Leviticus 3:12 (ESV)

12 “If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD

Unlike the regulations for the burnt offering, which merges the sheep and goats into a single category, the fellowship offering distinguishes between the sheep offering and the goat offering. The same procedure is employed as for the herd and the sheep.
