What age can pygmy goats get pregnant?

[Leah567]

I was wondering, what age can pygmy goats get pregnant? 6 months??

They can get bred as young as 3 months, although you certainly don't want that happening!

I knew a pygmy doeling that gave birth at 7 months....she must've been bred on her very first cycle.

 

[Leah567]

Wow!!!! When do you think mine could get pregnant?

 

[Leah567]

Anyone?

If she's older than 3 months, yes. How old is she? How big?

 

[Leah567]

No she is only about a month, and she is shorter than a ruler from head to hoof.

I wouldn't let any intact bucks over 2 months in the pen with her after she is 2 months old.

My male goat is 4 1/2 months. I just let her in with him sometimes. He doesn't seem to mind.

Of course he doesn't seem to mind... He is already quite capable of getting the job done physiologically. If you DON'T want a pregnant goat, I would do one of two things... either keep them separated hence forth with strong/tall fencing, or get him de-balled. And I have heard tell of goats getting pregnant through fencing... just saying.
