I got a new goat!!

[Hollywood Goats]

She is a 19 inch Nigerian dwarf, she is a year old, and I am picking her up next week!!!

Right now she is being bred with this buck.

Here are various pictures of her.

What do you think? The owner is sure that if she is with the buck for a week she will get pregnant, even though she is not in heat, will she? I know that a buck can put a doe in heat, but I read that they don't always get pregnant when it is forced.

I don't know about the breeding, but she sure is a lovely little goatie. Congratulations

A week is not guaranteed long enough for her to be bred if she does not come into heat, or she is "forced" into a non-fertile heat. If you absolutely want her to be bred, I would ask the breeder if it will be possible to bring her back for a re-breed if she comes into heat again after you take her home.

She's cute though!

Yeah she is only a 30 minutes away so if she doesn't get pregnant I will bring her back, but this woman is under the impression that goats don't go into heat by themselves, that only a buck can put them into heat so it will be tough trying to explain to her that the goat is in heat

Wow - both are gorgeous!

I have a doe in with her new boyfriend as well right now. She wasn't in heat when I brought her, but she's allowed to stay as long as it takes. Since this gal is close by, I'd definitley agree with Ariel and say you should ask for a re-breed if you notice she's in heat.

From what I've learned, a buck can bring a doe into heat, but it's not always necessary.

Good luck!

I saw "SHE is a nigerian dwarf" then looked at the picture immediately below and went . But then I read the photo caption.

That spot on her side is adorable!
