How to use this chart
Find the month the doe was bred in, then her breeding date in the left column. The date beside it is the expected kidding date at 150 days. For a group bred on pasture, look up both the day the male went in and the day he came out: the kidding window runs between those two dates.
The chart is a fixed 150-day count. If you want the date adjusted for your breed, plus the checks worth doing along the way, use the Goat Gestation Calculator, which also sends the dates to your phone's calendar.
Frequently asked questions
How do I read a goat gestation table?
Find the date the doe was bred in the left column of its month block. The date beside it is her expected kidding date, counting 150 days.
Is the goat gestation table the same for every breed?
Close, but not identical. Most breeds average 150 days. Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy does often kid around 145, so read about 5 days earlier.
How many days early or late can a doe kid?
Most does kid between day 145 and day 155. Earlier than 145 usually means weak kids that need help.
Can I print this chart?
Yes. Use your browser's print option and only the chart prints, without the menus.
