Well, it isn't Brownie who is the sneaky one.
When Ian was one day old, his mother lost him. I pulled him off of her and started bottle feeding him. At three days old, Brownie joined him in my house. Little Ian went all buck on her. Blowing raspberries and making little buck noises. Next thing you know he was mounting her and trying to mate! THREE DAYS OLD!
At one month old, he had big testicles! Brownie went into heat for two hours. I had to keep the two apart for 24 hours because he was being a buck. At two months old he smelled like a buck and acted like a buck. He's been one ever since.
He tried to breed Mama and he was just so tiny that it was cute. Mama made it clear that no nursing baby who was bottle fed was going to be trying to breed her. She rolled him over on his back and laid down and put her big old head on him (almost as big as he was at the time.) She held him down with her head until he stopped squealing. Then she let him up and he ran away house (where he was living at the time) and hid in my under my bed . I had to coax him out with raisins. His little buck ego was quite bruised. That did not stop him. Every month since then he's tried with Mama.
Brownie has had a heat cycle every 18 days like clockwork ever since then and I have had to lock the poor little girl up. Alas, when we moved down here in late September, quarters were pretty tight in my little pickup. Right after we got here, she went into heat again as did Mama. (Too many bucks around - 30 to be exact.)
Unfortunately, the buck I wanted to breed her to, still doesn't smell like a buck and he's nearly 6 months old! Mama's kid, Trump Card. Beautiful, big, majestic, exotic, great milking lines.
(This is not his best picture. It was taken a couple months ago.)
And then there is Houdini. He would not make the best daddy for a BIG alpine/nubian, oberhauslie dairy doe. He's only 14 inches tall. Brownie is 32 inches tall. I want pack goat wethers and dairy doelings. Not bull dozer babies and tiny doeling dairy girls.
