The research investigation was carried out to study the sexual behaviour, effect of presence of a female kid and effect of season on age of puberty and sexual maturity. Seven Boer kids were purchased at the age of 4 – 5 months were kept under a semi-intensive system. The Boer kids were not showing any sexual interest but sniffing the penile region during 29^th - 31^st week of age. During 32^nd weeks, all the bucks exhibited mounting attempt with sliding. During 33^rd -35^th week of age Boer kids exhibited Flehmen’s reaction and nudging by forelimbs. During 36th - 41st weeks of age all the bucks started to show intromission of penis and during 42^nd - 47^th weeks along with signs of sexual interaction bucks started showing complete erection of penis and self enurination. At 48th and 49th weeks of age all the Boer bucks in the herd showed all the signs of sexual interaction like, sniffing, sliding, jumping, Flehmen’s reaction, complete erection of penis, intromission of penis and self enurination. The Sexual behaviour interaction between male-to-male Boer bucks was increased gradually from 29th to 49th weeks of age. There were no special effects of presence of a female Osmanabadi doe on sexual behaviour in Boer male kids. All the Boer kids under this study have reached the puberty and sexual maturity in the same season within normal age range. Hence, the effect of season on the age of puberty and sexual maturity in Boer kids could not be analyzed.
