Oh.. well, maybe I will have to try again. We had housed the bucks at our place, for a lady who couldn't keep them at the time. A friend who has bred before came over and had us introduce them near, and then to the does. We didn't give them any hormone to come into heat. We left them with the...
#3, 4, and 6 are 18 mo old FFs. They are all Reg. Nubians. 1,2, and 3 were all in with a buck from Sep 10-12. #1 is 6 yrs old, #2 is 4, #5 is 5-all have kidded before. The bucks were proven bucks. 4,5,6 were bred also on those dates, but also were in with a buck around Nov 11th, to see if they...
