Boer goats typically come into heat for the first time around 5 to 7 months of age, although this can vary depending on factors such as genetics, nutrition, and overall health. Females may start exhibiting estrus behavior earlier or later, but it's generally advisable to wait until they are at least 7 to 8 months old before considering breeding. Proper management and care during this period are essential for their reproductive health.

I wonder if you are asking this question for a veterinary science project in 4-H, because I googled the answer to this question as well. I am working on the same project. What I have come up with so far is this, and I'm not sure if it is correct. Sight: A male goat sees a female goat acting as though she is in heat and responds. Smell: A male goat smells the difference between females in and out of heat. Hearing: A male goat hears the female goat in heat making different noises than the others. Touch: A male goat rubs up against a female to see if she is in heat and she responds. I don't know what to say for the taste...the only thing I could think of is just disgusting but it IS an animal, after all. Hope this is of help to you. For taste, you could say that the mother eats her afterbirth after she has the babies.

When young goats come in heat?
Young goats, or kids, typically reach sexual maturity and come into heat between 5 to 12 months of age, depending on the breed and individual development. The heat cycle, or estrus, lasts about 24 to 48 hours and occurs every 18 to 24 days. Factors such as nutrition, health, and environmental conditions can influence the timing of their first heat. It's important for goat owners to monitor their animals to ensure proper breeding management.
