What is the general term for a female goat that has not given birth?

The term for a female goat that has not given birth is "doe." This term is widely accepted in the livestock industry and among goat breeders to refer specifically to mature female goats, regardless of their reproductive history.

While "kid" refers to a young goat, typically one that is still dependent on its mother for milk, it does not apply to the reproductive status of the female. The term "gilt" pertains to young female pigs that have not yet given birth, thus being unrelated to goats. "Yearling" describes an animal that is between one and two years of age and can refer to both male and female goats, but it does not specify whether the animal has given birth. Therefore, "doe" is the most accurate and specific term for a female goat that has not yet had offspring.
