First time breeding age

Posted by Lisa jay on March 30, 2014 at 12:29pm in Breeding

So I am just wondering what you guys think..what would be too old for a doe to be bred for the first time?  I don't want to bred my does to just anything, I guess I am being picky, so I am just kinda of taking my time so I make (hopefully) a good choice. One of my does is coming up on 2 years old the others are just turning 1 year.  I know I have time but I just thought I'd ask how old is too old.

    I wouldn't breed much later than 3 either... I would get on it for your 2 year old doe.

    I would not say that you have a lot of time. I don't like to have a first freshener past age 3, so I would say you are going to run out of time fairly soon with the two year old.
