hello. i am having a terrible problem finding a buck to breed my girls to. they are saanen. one doe was born feb 2010, the other doe born march 2009. they were both bred december 2010 and kidded in may. they are still in milk now.
i *had* planned to breed them to someone close-by. litterally i can walk to the house. but the guy sold his one and only buck. :( and i didnt know anything about it until middle of november. since then i have been looking and looking and looking. i know someone a few towns over who has pygmys. and even if i go elsewhere i will end up with pygmys anyhow. seems to be only thing around here.
so my question is: if i am to try and breed to a pygmy buck what are my chances of my does actually getting bred? they are still on the short side (in my eyes anyhow).
what do you think?

ps:
also what would the kids of such a cross be like?

Where there is a will (a buck in rutt is always willing) there is a way. (a bale of hay, an old tire, a table, a chair)

Mama, my 250 pound Alpine doe, may very well be bred to Houdini, my 50 pound mini-LaMancha Buck. Not sure yet. BUT how can a 14 inch tall, buck reach a 36 inch tall doe, you ask? His little hoof prints were on her butt every morning for days. She looked quite ruffled on those days, like he'd been bothering her endlessly while she was trying to sleep in the barn laying down. Then one morning, I swear, she looked like she wanted a cigarette and a martini when she got up on the milk stand, and Houdini was pretty proud of himself for no apparent reason.

Only time will tell as Mama swells and her due date comes near.
