A male goat is a billy-goat. A female goat is a nanny goat. There is no male nanny goat. Goats are often times, and most widely called "billy" for the male or "nanny" for the female. The more proper terminology is to refer to the fully functional male as a "buck", the castrated male as a "wether", the adult female as a "doe" and a newborn goat is referred to as a "kid". Terms such as "buckling" and "doeling" are often used as well to further describe the sex of a "kid".
A goat is a general name for animals of the Caprine species, no matter what age, sex or breed it is. Males are "bucks" or "billy goats", and females are "does" or "nanny goats". The young are called "kids".
