The main objective of this study was to investigate whether the local Zomri female goats are seasonal or continuous breeders. Reproductive cyclicity was determined endocrinologically in five postpubertal female goats . Blood samples were collected twice a week over a twelve months period for the measurement of plasma progesterone concentrations which were used to determine reproductive cyclicity. Results of this study suggest that Zomry female goats native to Saudi Arabia tend to have a long reproductive season which extend throughout most of the year with a temporary cessation during the hot months of May-August.
