either will work but wethers work best.20kidsonhill said:
Just because I ran across this.20kidsonhill said:
that was interesting reading. It doesn't mention sex of the goat, but does mention considering the fact if you goat is in heat, so with that I am assuming they use does as well as wethers.Chirpy said:
thank you, I will share these links with the family. They are coming to visit the farm and learn about what it takes to care for a goat or two. As well as looking at a couple that we have for sale. I do have one wether left, but I don't have a pair of wethers available. I do have a pair of does available, that have some nubian in them and should be pretty good sized. They mentioned possibly investing in does, because they may want to breed them one or two times in the future as a family project. They don't have a lot of land, so it would be difficult for them to have a pair of wethers and then a pair of does added to that. Honestly, it is a little late in the year for a good selection of goats to purchase from us or just about anyone around us. They did say they had researched and read that a boer/dairy cross is a good idea. I already sold all my 75%/25% kids this year. I had a couple doelings that would have been perfect for their project. My does that I have left are 88%/12% Boer/Nubian. THey should be pretty big framed. And one wether, who has really nice frame and nice sturdy legs, he would make a nice cart goat. But they reallyl need two. And I don't think pairing a big wether with a doe would be a good idea.hcppam said:
That is practical, but kind of funny.Catahoula said:
