How long do Nubian Goats live?
Nubian goats live 12–15 years with good care. Does reach breeding age at 7–10 months and are typically bred after their first year; gestation is about 150 days, with 1–4 kids per birth (twins and triplets common). A milking doe lactates for roughly 10 months after kidding if milked consistently. Their longevity makes a doe a decade-plus commitment with a daily milking schedule.
What do Nubian Goats need?
Nubians need good grass or legume hay (alfalfa for does in milk), browse time, and a free-choice loose goat mineral with copper — goats require copper that sheep minerals lack. Grain only for milkers in production or thin animals. Forbidden plants include azalea, rhododendron, oleander and wilted cherry — small amounts are fatal. Clean water, a salt block and routine hoof trimming (every 6–8 weeks) complete the base. Milking does need grain to sustain production.
