What term is used for a female goat?

• A. Nanny/Doe
• B. Buck/Billy Goat
• C. Kid
• D. Goose

Answer: (A)

Goats have specific terms by sex. The female goat is called a doe, and in everyday farming language she’s often called a nanny. The male is a buck or billy, and a young goat is a kid. The option showing nanny and doe together correctly identifies a female goat, which is why it’s the best choice. The other terms refer to male goats, a young goat, or a different animal entirely (goose).
