  • Gestation and Breeding: The gestation period for dairy goats is approximately 5 months. They typically give birth to 1-3 kids per pregnancy, with breeding often occurring in the fall for spring births.
  • Lifespan and Productivity: Dairy goats can live for 10-15 years and remain productive milk producers for 7-10 years. Their productivity may decline with age.
  • Housing and Care: Goats require shelter from the elements, clean water, and adequate space. Regular hoof trimming and parasite control are essential for their well-being.
