I know that there are definite "No's" when breeding.. No mother-son, brother-sister breeding, but exactly how far rem

Read more…It's been awhile since I have been on the forum. Sorry, it's been a busy summer! This morning when I milked I noticed my older doe had some mucus, so when I finished milking her I put her in with my buck. He is almost 8 mo old, and this would be h

Read more…Hi guys,
I am having a helluva time trying to separate my goats. We brought home the doeling maybe two weeks ago now, with the intention of splitting Penny (my adult doe) with her, and putting the buck and wether in another pasture.
Every attemp

We are just starting our herd and will have 2 wethers (being banded today) and a doeling. The doeling has a free breeding when she's old enough. We are trying to figure out should we consider purchasing a yearling doe or a buckling to gr

We have been waiting for the next available doeling from our breeder and it turns out she's polled. I have been readin
Read more…One of my does, at 18 months old, is still really small. Probably 75 % the size of the other grown does and maybe 40 lbs. Is this it for her or will she continue to grow? Will it be safe to breed her to a "normal"-sized buck? Is it likely that all he
