Thank you for the buck encouragement. I guess I will put that on my list of what to purchase next. Now to figure out what breed I want to get him or them in lol:love

Can you put two bucks together or do they fight?

I have 8 bucks that live together.
They scuffle some in the fall, but for the most part its peaceful.

I have my bucks together most of the time. I do separate them during rut as mine will fight over the ladies but they share a fence line with the does. It might be more peaceful if the ladies weren't there flaunting it all in their faces. I also separate because of size, I have two big and a small so not quite fair to the little guy. They are all together right now with no problems.

Our bucks get along unless the girls are in heat. They don't mind their mini me's running around either.

No, our bucks do not fight. When we add baby bucks the older ones take care of them. We have NO blubbering, NO obnoxious behavior. No buck is allowed to blubber at humans. We teach them young. :)

@ragdollcatlady, are you going to have any mini nubian does for sale this year or are you hoarding them? (if you even have any).

I am hoarding the one little girl that was born so far this year. Madeline is my favorite color pattern and has blue eyes so I couldn't help my self. I had exposed our other nubian to a nigerian too, but she didn't like the guy that was offered so she is dry this year. We might do mini nubians again this fall since I still don't have a nubian buck. Haven't seen any that like.

I keep my nigetrian bucks together, but the boer bucks fight like MMA masters so they need their own spaces.
