Female goats are called as nannies or does. The males are bucks or billies. Their offspring are called kids.
Does and nannies both refer to female goats in general. Dam is the equivalent of mother, a kid goat will have both a dam and a sire.
Female goats are referred to as does or nannies, intact males as bucks or billies; their offspring are kids. (Many goat breeders prefer the terms "buck" and "doe" to "billy" and "nanny"). Castrated males are wethers.

Billygoats are males. Female goats are called nannygoats. Many do refer to them as nannies and billies. However, breeders typically refer to them as does (female) and bucks (male). Babies are called kids, and we refer to them as bucklings and doelings to distinguish the males from females. Castrated males are called wethers. well duh
It is called a buck. A castrated male goat is called a wether. A full grown female goat is called a doe. Babies are referred to as kids, in general, but specifically, bucklings and doelings.Occasionally you will hear goats referred to as "nannies" or "billies." A nanny goat is another name for a doe, and a billy goat is another name for a buck. But those are not the proper terms.
A buck or billy goat but if he has been castrated he is called a wether.Billy-goat
