The answer

Aqiqa is valid with goats and other sheep, camels, and cows, provided they have reached the legal age, which is "musinna" (of age). For goats, a musinna is one that has completed a full year. It is permissible to slaughter a "jadha'a" (young sheep) if a musinna sheep is difficult to find.
