Goat Gestation Table


The table below is an easy to use gestation calculator based on a 145 day gestation period.Take the day that you bred the doe indicated in column Month Bred, subtract the number of days from the column marked Days

This will due you the 145 day of the month indicated in column Month Due.

Via the math,  If you bred a doe on October 15th (Month Bred) you would subtract 6 days (Days), making her due to freshen on March 9th (Month Due).

For a leap year freshening, subtract one more day between October 4th and February 28 for the due date
