At least for me. Had one doe in heat, decided to put buck in pen with does ( ha ha, LOL). can you tell I am still a novice yet?

Went from one doe in heat to four!! Yup, My Goofy got all four in a matter of days. Will see if they all settle.

If so, I am in for a whole lot of kidding come mid Jan.

We have:

Hazel; she usually gives twins, got a single this spring. (6yrs)
Cassie; twins every year bred so far (4yrs)
Haze; former owner says triplets or quads every year. est(4-5yrs)
Annebell; same here, same estimated age.

will try hard to keep this thread updated.

Looks like it is starting here too. I had a billy that just wasn't interested in the ladies (I had already saw two go into heat, they were practically throwing it at him). got rid of him and bought a new billy. put him in with them and there are three with very sticky tails. looks like mid January babies for me too.

Ruby-3 yrs old, had single on first freshening
Lucy-6 yrs old, had twin does last year, hoping for same this year, all singles before
Elsa-1 yrs old, first freshener
Anna- 1 yrs old, first freshener
(Elsa and Anna are big does!! Ruby is there older sister and the dwarf her!!)
