To determine a doe goat's due date, locate her month of breeding on the table below. Then, subtract the number in the far right column of the table from the day of the month she was bred. For example, your doe was bred on July 10. Reading across from July, you know she will kid in December. To find the specific estimated due date, subtract the 3 in the right hand column from the 10 in her breeding date: due date is December 7.
