Goat Gestation and Kidding Guide

Goat pregnancy (caprine gestation) lasts approximately 150 days — exactly 5 months. This relatively short gestation compared to cattle and horses means goats can produce two kidding seasons per year in some management systems. Goats are seasonal breeders, typically cycling in fall (short days), which means most kidding occurs in late winter or early spring in temperate climates.

The 145–155 day range means your doe could kid up to 5 days early or late. Planning for this window is important — kidding in cold weather requires shelter and heat lamp availability for newborn kids. A well-prepared kidding pen makes all the difference for survival rates, especially with triplets.
