There are lots of things to calculate on your goats.
Breed percentages. The buck is a 100% X breed The doe is a 100% Y breed The kids of this breeding are 50%X and 50% Y This buck breeds a 100% Z doe. These kids are 25% X, 25% Y and 50%Z. You simply reduce the parental percentages by one half to determine the offsprings percentage.
Weight Gains Average daily weight gains are important to know for performance. Take a 60 day old kid, weigh them, subtract the birth weight and divide the remaining number by 60. 60 Day Weight 25 pounds minus birth weight 7 pounds equals 18 pounds divided by 60 = .30 lbs per day.
Kidding percentages If you want a 180% kid crop 100 does kid 200 kids, 20 are lost = 180% kid crop.
