How to tell the age of goats

Agfact graphic
Series: Agfact A7.2.2  Edition: First edition  Last updated: 01 Nov 2003

The age of a goat can be estimated from its teeth. As with sheep, the permanent incisors of goats erupt at different times during their lifespan, and these times can vary between individual animals. A knowledge of these different time intervals provides the basis for estimating age.

This Agfact contains pictures to assist with the aging of goats.
