nanny-goats

Billies' breeding partners

Nanny-goats are female goats, especially adult ones kept for milk production.

The term distinguishes them from billy-goats (males) and kids (young goats).

The nanny-goats need milking twice a day.

Nanny-goat is slightly old-fashioned; the standard agricultural term is simply doe.
