My ND crosses were not seasonal breeders...so who knows. Maybe she is already bred?

Yeah... tough to get in a motherly way when there's no buck present... Tougher still to do a drive by breeding when there's no indication of being in heat... 
Al, I loaned my buck to DevonV for as long as she needed him. She though one of hers had come back into heat so I loaned him to her again. She wasn't interested the 2nd time around so we're all guessing she actually did take the first go-round. All that to ask... Is there any way that you can bring your doe to the owner of the buck and leave her there for ~ 3 weeks? The heat cycle is typically 17-23 days I believe... and the best point is right mid heat so 21 days ought to cover it. Or maybe borrow the buck to visit with you until the job gets done?

Sorry, but the distance involved in that trip is a bit too much...

that is what I did last year. .. just dropped off does.Yeah... tough to get in a motherly way when there's no buck present... Tougher still to do a drive by breeding when there's no indication of being in heat...
SO MUCH easier. Also less awkward. Gotta say, standing with my 4 youngest boys, watching 2 goats having sex, and the commentary.
Like "did he get it in that time" "do you think he did a full release inside her" odd just saying, odd.
ahem.
But it worked fine for Mocha, but she is experienced, and a 3/4 nubian so cries like all get out when in heat. Can we say obvious?
Anyway, Mozzie, being 1/2 dwarf, there is only 1 buck I know of small enough to breed her..... so... no choices.
I might ask again though...if I could just drop her off.

Hey they learn about the birds and bees and you don't have any splainin to do So it started sprinkling while out doing evening goat chores right before dark. Came in and looked and the forecast above look promising but I find often lets me down. SO I opened the radar picture instead and it's lookin' good! Might actually get some real rain out of this one. Maybe even a rumble of thunder later...
On a brighter note, Got a new replacement monitor and it's quite nice.

FINALLY!! We got RAIN! We went to sleep last night, lulled off by the sound of falling rain. So nice! My rain gauge was broken off by a neighborhood kid, so don't know how much rain we got, but it rained for hours! Gotta get another rain gauge!

I hope it misses me. Rained a little about 24 hrs ago but I don't need any more right now and later in the week and next week look to be 'wet' anyway.

We haven't seen rain since a few days before Thanksgiving. While I love this weather it doesn't bode well for next summer.
