Goat kidding date calculator

Goats carry for about 150 days. Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy does often kid a few days early; larger dairy and meat breeds land close to day 150.

When is my goat due?

A doe bred today (October 5, 2026) is due around March 4, 2027, between February 27 and March 9, 2027.

Start from the breeding date. Use the date the doe was bred. If the doe was bred more than once, use the last date.
Add 150 days. The average doe carries for about 150 days, so the due date is 150 days after breeding.
Mark the normal window. Most kidding happens between day 145 and day 155, so watch from day 145 and call your vet if nothing has happened by day 155.
