Goat in Spanish is Cabro (masculine) or Cabra (feminine).
Goat is a hardy domesticated ruminant animal that has backward curving horns and a beard (in the male). It is kept for its milk and meat and is noted for its lively and frisky behavior.

Female goats are referred to as does or nannies, intact males are called ‘bucks or billies’, and juvenile goats of both sexes are called ‘kids’. Castrated males are called wethers. While the words hircine and caprine both refer to anything having a goat-like quality, hircine is used most often to emphasize the distinct smell of domestic goats.
Goat in Spanish Different Names
Las cabras hembras se conocen como cabras o niñeras, los machos intactos se llaman ‘bucks o billies’ y las cabras juveniles de ambos sexos se llaman ‘kids’. Los machos castrados se llaman carneros. Si bien las palabras hircine y caprine se refieren a cualquier cosa que tenga una cualidad similar a la de una cabra, hircine se usa con mayor frecuencia para enfatizar el olor distintivo de las cabras domésticas.
