We prioritize superior genetics, offer personalized consultations and tailored breeding plans, and actively promote and showcase our clients. By choosing us, breeders gain access to high-quality stock, guidance for successful breeding programs, and increased exposure in the competitive market.

Does should not be bred under 12 months. Ideally, they should be joined from 14 months-18 months (when they are at least 40 kg) to kid for the first time before they are two years of age. Young does can start to cycle from 4-6 months, therefore they should be kept well away from any bucks. At this age they are too young to join. Does bred when they are too young/small may result in stunting of their growth for a number of years and their kids will also be stunted as the does cannot provide sufficient milk for them to grow well.

Gestation is around 150 days (5 months). Kidding is often the busiest time for the goat farmer. Because does usually have multiple kids, the kids are a little smaller than a lamb, and because they do not have a fat layer like a lamb, goat kids are particularly susceptible to cold stress when they are born. Does left to kid out on exposed land under cold wet conditions will not be able to keep their kids warm and many kids will die of exposure. Farmed goats are usually bought into kidding paddocks that are sheltered and have predator protection before the kids are born and for several weeks after.

Goats usually have twins. In doing any calculations for herd increments, most breeders work on 1.5 average per doe per year. However if the season is favourable, multiple births (triplets/quads) are common. It is rare that the doe will be able to provide enough milk for this number of kids so hand rearing may be necessary.

Goats are hardy animals that can survive in harsh environments, however some shelter for protection in bad weather, persistent rain, and windy cold snaps, is recommended. Heavy tree shelterbelts and bush may be suitable however simple three sided sheds are usually the most satisfactory for intensively farmed goats. There must be sufficient space for all animals to gain shelter including the kids. As there is a strong pecking order with goats, a long, open shed is a better option than a deep shed with one doorway. Housing can be simple and cost effective. A shed or barn with good ventilation is ideal; however recycling materials such as rainwater tanks can be just as effective. Remember to strap down tanks to avoid them moving with strong winds.

This depends on the size and age of the buck. Young bucks from age about six months can mate with does but should be mated with very few at this age. A well-grown buck at about 10 to 12 months can mate up to 25 does; a mature buck at 18 months can mate with 30-40 does. The rule of thumb is 3% (i.e. 3 bucks for 100 does). Bucks should be left with the does for about six weeks (two three week cycles) and then removed. This makes the kidding period tight and manageable and means that bucks are not running with young does. In a stud enterprise care must be taken that the buck and his mating does are kept well away from other bucks as you need to record which buck is used over specific does for registration purposes. If you run more than one mating group, two fences would be required between each group during mating time. In a commercial environment several bucks can run together with the does.

Contrary to popular belief goats don’t eat “anything”. What you feed will depend on the pasture available. Goats like to roam and are selective eaters. They are extremely useful in weed control and eating plants other animals will not eat. However feeding will also depend on the stage of growth of the animal, and whether the does are about to kid or are lactating. These latter stages place the greatest demand for nutrition, so depending on the pasture and time of the year, you may need to supplementary feed with hay, grain or other feed as and when necessary. Free access to mineral supplements will help to replace any mineral deficiencies in the soil. Access to fresh water at all times of the year is essential. Troughs must be at a suitable height for goats and kids to drink without the risk of falling in and drowning. Take care to introduce grain and pellets to your goats gradually otherwise you may kill your goats with grain poisoning.

It is important to do as much research as possible before buying goats and only buy from reputable breeders. Goats, as with most farmed animals, require vaccinations and treatment for internal and external parasites. It is important not to overgraze pasture as this magnifies problems. Small landholders should consider rotational grazing. See the links at the end of this article for more information. Overfeeding grain and only providing lush green grass may cause health problems. Goats require plenty of quality roughage and nutritious food for high production. Goats stressed by underfeeding, overcrowding, and exposure to poor weather are the ones most vulnerable to health problems. Proper consultation with a veterinarian should be undertaken when there are any concerns for an animal’s welfare.
