At what age do goats get pregnant?

Published in Goat Reproduction 1 min read

Goats typically get pregnant between 7 months to 1 year of age.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Puberty: Does (female goats) reach puberty between 7 months and 1 year old. This is when they are first able to conceive.
  • First Kidding: Ideally, does should be bred to have their first kidding (give birth) between 13 and 17 months of age. This allows them to mature physically before pregnancy and delivery.

Therefore, while goats can get pregnant as early as 7 months, it is often recommended to wait until they are slightly older to ensure the health of both the doe and her offspring.
