I only have 1 adult saanen cross doe which we were hoping to have bred this past Dec. but we couldn't find another saanen or boer to breed her.

To make matters worse she was bred for the first time last year and she kept letting her 8 month old continue to nurse from time to time.

Now that she's finally drying out we'll have to wait until next year when we can breed her and possibly 3 to 6 other does that will be ready for the first time.

I have 3 more saanen cross boer does and 3 alpine cross nubian does to breed if I find the right male for them.

So no milk darn it.
