How Long is a Goat's Gestation Period?

How long after breeding will my goats start kidding? Breeding season is almost upon us again! So, if you're trying to figure out whether to breed now or in a couple months, you may be wondering how much time the goats will be pregnant. Goats have a gestation period of roughly 150 days (about 5 months). As you decide when to breed your goats, be sure to consider the weather conditions, fly population, and predator activity during the time of year that you plan to kid. Be warned - goats are notoriously susceptible to early kidding if bad weather arrives.
