Nature
Domestic Goats can be cute, clever, gentle and friendly. However they can also be mischievous with a great interest in climbing and/or eating anything and everything.
Breeds
Range from Angora, Cashmere, Nubian and Australian Field Goats just to name a few.
Lifespan
Given they are well looked after a goat can live up to 20 years.
Food
Goats are vegetarians and ruminants, like sheep and cows, which means they have four-chambered stomachs designed to extract the maximum nutrition from everything they eat.
Breeding
Male goats are called billys or bucks, females are called nannies or does, and babies are called kids. Most goats have babies twice a year (gestation lasting just 5 months) and often have twins or triplets. In the event of triplets one must be hand reared as a nanny only has two teats and one is likely to suffer.
