A female goat is called a doe and a male is called a buck. There are more goats and sheep in the world than cattle or pigs! Does can have from 1 to 4 babies at a time. A doe will carry its kids for 5 months before giving birth. Kids weigh from 2 to 10 pounds when they are born.

Information Goat milk is used for drinking, cooking and baking. It is used to make cheese, butter, ice cream, yogurt, candy, soap and other body products. Goat milk is whiter than whole cow milk. Butter and cheese made from goat milk are white, but may be colored during processing. Due to its small fat globules and soft small curd, products made with goat milk are smooth and cream-like. Goat milk is also naturally emulsified. Chevre is the French word for goat. Domestically, it is a generic term that applies to all goat cheeses, and more specifically the mild fresh cheeses.
