In a farming context, a ewe (female sheep) wouldn't be spayed, as they are kept for breeding lambs. A neutered ram is called a Wether. But I can't find a specific name for a spayed female sheep. If a ewe is kept as a pet, it would simply be a spayed female sheep.
An adult female is called a Doe, an adult female with offspring is a Suckling, and a young female goat is a Goatling. "Nanny" is considered impolite.
A doe but female goats are not castrated - they may be spayed if there was a complication in a caesarean.
A castrated female goat is called a wether. It is a term typically used to refer to a neutered male goat, but can also apply to a spayed female goat.
Not usually - a female goat would only get spayed if she had an issue with her uterus.
A female goat is called a doe or a nanny.
A mature female goat is called a "nanny" or a "doe."
Oh, dude, a female goat is called a "doe." It's like they're trying to confuse us with all these different names for animals. I mean, why not just call them all "goat" and be done with it? But no, we gotta have "bucks," "does," and all that jazz.
