You have adorable goats! We are working on building a goat herd. We have 7 right now. We raise Nubians and Oberhasli’s. What age do your goat usually pass away?

Thank you~
Average age for goats:
12 for does
12 for wethers
8 for bucks
I just got my first goat 5 days ago, i rescued her from a slauter house, she is about 2 weeks old she gas floppy ears and i fell in love with her. i am just so happy i was able to rescue her any info would be helpful.
Molly, I wanted to post some helpful disbudding info for your viewers - I have the luxury of being able to get xylazine and lidocaine from my horse vet (I’m a certified vet tech). I gave my 3 week old kids .1mg/kg of xylazine IM, then when they were down I injected about 1ml of lidocaine SQ all the way around the horn bud. Not one kid made a sound, or indicated that they felt any discomfort. I reversed with yohimbine after the procedure. It was soooo much less stressful for me and the babies. Also, the mommies didn’t have to listen to their babies screaming.
You have some beautiful goats..i really enjoyed you website.. I have three goats of my own.. my 3 yr old daughter and i are really enjoying it.. we hope to see more of your goats and read the blogs.. cant wait for more….
aww [: I’m 12, my mom and I just got two goats. One is a pygmy and ones a Nigerian Dwarf. The man we bought them from said our the pygmy (who is about 9 months old) is pregnant. She should be due in about a week or two so we’re very excited and hope they turn out as cute as yours!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I FOUND YOUR SITE AS I WAS RESEARCHING GOATS. I HAVE WANTED THEM FOR YEARS. I JUST GOT 4 NUBIANS THANKS TO ALL YOUR HELPFUL INFORMATION. BY THE WAY THE BEST PICTURES EVER GOLDIE WITH THE TOMATO AND LARRY AND THE KIDD. TOO CUTE.
I am about to rescue a female goat, whose owner has to leave his rented home. It is, in fact, his neighbour who takes care of the goat and, as her home is owned by the same person, she has been frantically looking for someone to rescue this adorable animal. I’ve been busy building a wooden fence around a lovely glade on our land and my next job is to finish the stable I have begun. I hope to find another needy herd animal, to keep Fi Fi La Tour company.
(Mad or what)?!
Thanks for all the great information. I was really worried about all the vaccines out there and wasnt sure what to give my 5 goats. Your sight helped me see that they really dont need all that stuff. Iearned alot keep up the great work you do for these lil guys Love you,
I have three goats but my male alwas has his tail up why is that and he alwas curls his lip after both of my females went to the batheroom it is so funny he wont let me or my family touch him why is that?
Hi I have a three week old pigmy whose mother was killed by a coyote. He is not hurt but I need to know how to care for him he is just barely nibbling at grass and feed. Any info would behelpful
I was wondering if there is a certain age that a female goat is to old to have babies,ours is six years old and has never been breed, was just wondering
