baby goat

Young bleating ruminant

A baby goat is a young goat, typically called a kid.

The phrase appears most often when speakers want to be explicit or emphatic about the animal's youth: Look at the baby goats!

In informal contexts, baby goat may also refer affectionately to a young person considered the greatest of all time—a play on the acronym GOAT.
