Edited to fix my info (I was thinking about weaning doelings- sorry!)
Here are a few excerpts from a web page called Fias Co Farms (https://www.fiascofarm.com/goats/buck-wether-info.htm#keeping). I recommend you check it out for info on keeping bucks. Hopefully these two excerpts will answer your questions.

What age can a buck breed?

I normally feed orchard grass hay on a daily basis and give alfalfa a couple times a week- but MAN California prices are ridiculous ($14 a square bale)! I asked about Sudan hay because I found some for sale for about $9 a bale- still pricey but cheaper than what I am used to paying. Now I know...
Is it okay to feed goats Sudan grass hay as their sole source of hay? In the summer the pasture grass is dead and brown so they have very little forage. My milker gets grain but not the others.
My goat just kidded yesterday so when would be a good time to worm her? I have Ivomec Plus (cattle injectable) but I'd give that to her 1 cc per 33 lbs orally, correct? Also, when does she need her next CDT shot? She received her last CDT a month before she kidded. Should I give her more...
I went out there and offered them a bottled but they didn't seem hungry. So then I massaged/yanked at her udder and the teats started filling up and I was able to get milk out of them. The babies seem to be happy and nursing so I will keep in eye on everything but it seems good otherwise. The...
I'm really worried that my baby goats from last night aren't getting any milk. Her udder and teats were fine when they were born and they did get milk from them, but now its like her teats never filled back up with milk. The teats are all deflated, but her udder is still full. The babies are...
THEY'RE HERE!!!! Arrived at about 4pm. 2 babies: 1 boy, 1 girl! The boy is a lighter tan with tons of darker and lighter moon spots and he's realllyy big. The girl looks just like mama Razz but with some moon spots. Everything went so smoothly! And I got to see the whole birth. I'll post...
Well I FINALLY got the pics taken care of! And to make up for all the time you guys had to wait for these pics, I posted ALOT :D
But don't worry I think we have at least another week or two before she is due so there will be more pics as she progresses and pics when the babies come. Based on...
They look really nice to me! I have nubians, and yes they do tend to look thin but that doe looks a little too thin right now. One of my nubian does looked like that when I got her but she fattened up quickly. Just make sure it's not worms that is causing her to look thin. Ask if they have been...
As some of you know, I had a "newbie crisis" some time earlier because I wasn't sure of everything that needed to happen before my doe kids. But I think I've gotten everything sorted out :). She's been given all her needed vaccinations and supplements and I have her birth kit ready, so all I...
