My goat go-to neighbor told me that the next time I breed my girls and want to make sure they are in heat, I should take a rag, rub it all over a nice stinky buck, and then let the girls smell it. I'm not sure if it makes them go into heat or if they just go nuts over the smell if they are in heat or what- I've never done it, but he said it would work and he has been at this a lot longer than me.

Good luck! :)

Being around a buck can often put a doe into heat even if she is typically a seasonal breeder. And many Nubians will breed year round. All of mine certainly do. As yearlings they don't seem to have their first strong heat until July to Oct after they are about 6 months of age but they certainly CAN breed year round.
