I have always kept my male in a cage by himself and then taken the doe to him to breed. I have never kept a buck with the does. I would believe this would keep him from wanting to breed. Absense makes the heart grow fonder. I have never heard of keeping the buck with the does.

I usually start seperating them between 4-5 weeks depending on the kit size and how well they are eating and growing. I have had some I have left in with the mother up to 6-7 weeks. But normally 4-5 weeks, then put them in raising pins and monitor the transition period. If I am going to keep...

I raise Hair sheep and we usually keep the newborns and mothers in the sheep house out of the wind. Sometimes this works, unless it is my stubborn one that refuses to be pinned up seperate. In her case she keeps her lambs with her and uses her body to block them from the wind. If you are...

Welcome to BYH:frow I personally haven't had much experience with goats, but there is a lot of people on here that do. I love all the advice that they have given me. And also love reading about other peoples experiences and farm life. Don't be afraid to ask questions.....someone will have advice.

Our lambs do the same thing to the ewes. We will be separating ours at around 3 months, especially the twins we have(one ram, one ewe). The ewes tend to start to refuse to let them nurse, thats why we do it around this time, besides they are getting bigger.

Sometimes it takes a rabbit some time to get used to a new home, or the doe may not be in heat. I usually keep 2 males on hand that way if one male ain't feeling it I have a back up. Rabbits are unique animals and everyone is different in his or her own way.

I have had them wait until day36 before

Those two are so cute. Welcome to BYH:celebrate

Everything is going good on the farm. Sheep are happy, there is green grass again. Lambs are healthy and growing like crazy. Rabbit is doing well, still haven't gotten anymore, but plan on it. I miss having baby bunnies. One of our cats had 3 kittens which brings us up to 6 cats.

We use 16ft 4ft high cattle panels. We have also used the field fence from Tractor Supply 4ft high 4x4 the one that is 330 ft. We have hair sheep and on the field fence if they step on it they can pull it down. So we prefer the cattle panels. The 4ft vs. the 5ft in my opinion doesn't make much...
