Goats have an average life span of 10 to 15 years. The life span of a goat varies depending on the breed, whether it is wild or tame, and whether it's in captivity, such as in a zoo, or in the wild.
Volume and composition of milk produced is controlled by the goat's genetics but greatly influenced by the diet consumed. Dairy goats reach sexual maturity at 4 to 5 months of age. Young does should be bred at a body weight ranging from 70 to 80 pounds, which usually is at an age of 7 to 10 months. The gestation period ranges from 145 to 155 days with an average length of 149 days. Does normally produce between one and three kids per year (single-born kids weigh approximately 6 to 6.5 pounds at birth).
