Even if your goat is not running a high or low fever, this provides a clue to you and/or your vet as to what the problem could be. The ânormalâ temperature for a Boer goat is 101Â°F to 103Â°F in the winter, spring, and fall. It is not unusual in the summertime, when the goats have been basking in the hot sun all day, to see a temperature as high as 104Â°F, but this should drop fairly rapidly once the goat gets out of the sunlight. We use a digital rectal thermometer when taking our goatsâ temperatures.
