Buck socializing

[Jansalem]

Our boer doe gave birth to two beautiful twin boys. We have one buck in the pasture who is their father. What is the likelihood of them cohabitating? We have three ewes, including their mother. Can we keep them until they reach maturity or should we get rid of them to prevent fights?

It really depends on the buck on whether things will go well or not...

I am just a beginner but I did go visit one of the farms where I am getting my goats from over the weekend. The man I'm getting them from in Virginia, John Smith, had 6-8 bucks running together in a separate fenced off area. It appears they can cohabitate if they are not in peak rutting season. You will have to keep an eye on them though. Each buck is different.
