I'm new to this forum and I have a question. Forgive me if this has already been addressed. I moved to a new location where I have close neighbors who have milking does. I never worried, at my old location about keeping a buck in close proximity to my own does, but my neighbor is concerned about tainting her milk. The pen where my buck would be housed is about an acre or so away from their home and has trees in that acre between. He is a very gentle mini Lamancha. Do you think there will be a problem with his scent tainting her milk from that distance?

No.
I think there is no problem there.

I second OFA's opinion. My bucks and milking does share a fenceline and there's no problem with the milk.

Thank you for your responses. I will be putting up fencing for him today and moving him there later this weekend. I can't wait to have him here since he is such a sweetie.....
