The common name for a baby goat is a "kid." This term is widely used to refer to young goats, and it distinguishes them from adult goats, which are typically referred to simply as "goats." Kids are known for their playful and energetic behavior, often seen running and jumping. They are usually born in spring, and their mothers, called does or nannies, take care of them until they are mature enough to graze and feed independently. In farming and livestock contexts, kids can also be raised for various purposes, including milk production or, in some cases, meat.
