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.
Make sure you wean does and bucks separately to help you avoid unintentional breeding. Does can be bred at 7-8 months of age if they have reached a mature size. Some breeders prefer to wait until they are at least 1 year or older. Puberty is from 4 to 12 months (females between 7-10 months and males 4 to 8 months).The natural life expectancy for goats is around 8 to 12 years and in some cases, goats can live over 15 years. Dwarf does can have several kids at a time, 3 and 4 being common with some quintuplet births occurring.ealth. * The average life span of a Buck is around 8 years but up to 12 years; the average for a Doe is around 11-12 years and up to 20 years. * The normal (rectal) body temperature for goats is between 101.7 to 104.5 degrees F. * The heart rate of goats is between 70 to 135 beats per minute.
