Sorry about the death in your family :hugs

Those little bucklings are so cute!!!! Just wondering...does the male determine the sex? I'd always thought it was the female, but I'm up for learning something new all the time :)

That spotted one is handsome. :love

Sorry about the death in the family though. :hugs

Hoping you get some girls out of Chaos this year. :fl My dad's current buck has been throwing mostly bucks this year too. Only one doe and it's the one he is keeping. We've got his new buck over here for breeding our girls, hoping he throws some does for us.

I just figured maybe there was more than XY and XX involved in goats. Though I do remember reading that the boys determine gender just like in humans in a discussion before. So I thought your question was a good one. Can you tell I'm still a technical novice when it comes to breeding?! :hide
