A correction here... everyone called the kid right, but a female is definitely a doe and a male is called a buck (same terminology as deer and rabbits). And castrated males are called wethers... steers are castrated male cattle. Any serious goat breeder would be quick to correct the use of "nanny" and "billy" when referring to goat genders.

a young usexed goat is called a kid, a young female goat is a doe and a young male goat is called a buck. those two names will also be used in older and adult goats.

Goat families are made up of 'billies' which are males, 'nannies' which are females and 'kids' which are juveniles.
Goats are quite intelligent animals -- right up there with dogs, in fact, and except for a billie when he's in rutting season, they don't smell and are very gentle.

A young goat is a kid, a female is a nanny, and a male is a billy, a steer, was once a male and had his privates cut off, most steers are used for meat, nanny's for breeding and milk, and billys for breeding nanny's good luck and god bless
