Buck not “in the mood”

[Youngfarmer2019]

One of my does is in heat FOR SURE. I would like the doe bred as soon as possible but my buck has zero interest in her?? Is there any way to put him in the mood? Might be a stupid question but I know there’s only a small window to get her bred.

I don't know what to tell you then. He should be old enough. No interest at all ? How is she acting towards him?

No

No

No interest whatsoever, every time he approaches(or she approaches him) she’s flagging like crazy, bleating her lungs out and crouching down(he’s shorter)

Have you checked her? She may be doing this out of stress/excitement. How long have they been together? If for at least 3 wks, she may be bred! It has been my experience that a buck, of age, will do the job!

So, is she swollen? Pink tissue inside? Often a doe will not show settled for a full cycle when young. Hormones!

My bucks will sniff and walk if they don't need breeding.
