Fun Goat Facts

Did you know???

• a baby goat is called a kid... and that when a goat gives birth, it's called kidding! haha! really it's true.
• goats were one of the first animals to be domesticated
• a goat will eat about 2-4 pounds of hay per day
• a goat will drink about 2-3 gallons of water per day!  of course that amount will depend on how much milk she is making
• did you know that there are many diseases contractible from goats to humans?
  ... so be careful! 
• goat herds kept in confinement (particularly in barns without access to pasture) must be de-horned at birth. 
  Why?  if not de-horned, they have great capacity to hurt or kill each other, since they have no place to escape from each other as they would in the wild.  
• the life span of a goat is about that of a dog
