Is this nubian ready to be bred?

I talked to the guy I got the goats from today and he says they breed at 60 lbs as does the place he got them from!! I know that's a bit too low. So if Augustina was there, she'd be bred.

Most of you guys are telling me to be cautious and wait, but that it would probably be okay to do it if I decided to. So many different opinions and things to consider. I'm still leaning mostly no (considering I told the stud owner to stand down) but a small piece of me is still wishing I'd do it.

As an aside, I cleaned out the game cam today and found so many pictures just like this... what chores at this house look like. Those goats are always up in my business.

She weighs at least 74 lbs as of yesterday, looks like she's putting on about a pound a week, even in these insane temperatures we've been having (day and night).

Maybe she'll be able to be bred late Feb... if she's still in heat and the buck is still in rut.
