Scientific & Biological Overview

Active, playful goats have faster metabolisms than cows and need lots of good browse, pasture, and grass hay. Measuring chest girth gives you a quick, reliable weight estimate for feeding and medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a goat pregnant?
Average goat gestation is 150 days (about 5 months), typically ranging from 145 to 155 days.
How do you estimate a goat’s weight with a measuring tape?
Measure chest circumference directly behind the front elbows with the goat standing squarely on level ground, then convert via the caprine heart girth weight chart.
Why do goats eat so much food relative to their size?
Goats have very active metabolisms and rapid digestive turnover, requiring about 3% to 4% of their body weight in dry browse, hay, and pasture daily.
