Pen breeding is leaving the doe(s) in with the buck for an extended amount of time, resulting in (a) knowing the buck was with her when she was in heat and (b)not having an exact due date.

Hand breeding is taking the doe on a "date" with the buck when you think she is in heat, resulting in (a) maybe missing when she is actually in heat and (b) knowing if/when breeding took place so you have an accurate due date

GOTCHYA! Thanks!

I've learned one thing already that I won't soon forget. Pen breeding is NOT something I'm comfortable with.

I agree, no pen breeding for us either. I pen bred a couple this past season and the waiting was torture. At least with hand breeding you have an "earliest possible" date to start sweating and can relax until then!

What is pen vs hand breeding..??

LOL, I was thinking that maybe hand breeding was artificial insemination

In the Doe Code, does it count if you get your hair cut short, rather than pull it all out before they will kid?

Day 150 for the second time (2nd viewed mating)...hoping she doesn't go to the very last day of the pen breeding..that would be May 17th as Day 150!

You think that's bad? My little Cali is on day 155-159.. depending on if she settled same day of or upto 3 days after breeding. You don't get truly nerve wracked or insane until you hit 155 days! I'm now thinking she is deliberately holding off until Mothers' Day... just so she can be even more special

Tell her I said I know she's ALREADY special, so it's okay to have those babies!


Our "first" Day 150 was April 7th, so it sure feels like Day 180 to me!

I think Livinwright Farm is on their 3rd day 150...that's a hair puller!

I went through a 2nd day 150 with my Daisy. I agree no more pen breeding situations!

From now on, breeding on our farm will be planned months in advance with no more line or inbreeding!
And yes, this was the 3rd & final day 150... and tomorrow actually marks day 157-160(depending on when Cali settled). Vet told me today, that she could go 164 days, where she is so young. I've put in for my room at the assylum in case Cali doesn't kid by Sunday night.
This will be me---->

I'm sorry Livingwright, hopefully she'll do it SOON!

I think we may have some progress on our 2nd Day 152. She has hollowed out hips today and a lower tummy! Although DH had the typical circling for grain, she ate very slowly and left half of it (a first)!

I may be able to see my first ever new kids today after 55 years of ...experience (gray hairs)!
