    10 years is pretty good. under 8 i would be suspicious, but 15 i would say is max.

    I have friends that have had goats and they have had them live up to 16. but by then. they are about done. can't get around well. etc.

    But i would say if you keep them up to date on shots, and deworming, and cocci prevention. they should live a good 10 years at least!!
