Loving the herd life
So we took one of our does to be bred today. Things went south quickly. First of all, she was so stressed from the transport that she was actually panting. I've never seen a goat pant before.
The buck was interested, played nice, whispered in her ear, peed all over his face..... She was having none of it. We confined them to a small pen in the barn, and all she did was try to kill him. Boy, when a girl says no.....she means no.
This poor buck may never go near another doe again.
SO here is what I'm thinking. This buck fathered two of my does, so I can't just bring him to our house and turn him loose. The only other stud service will not let us borrow the buck we have to bring the does to him. Uh tried it, got the T-shirt, no thanks.
What if I bought a buck, bred all four does, let him stay til they delivered, and then sold him? Has anyone tried this before and had success?
We just don't have a way to keep him separated so that he could stay all year. We have only one building and no way to split them up.
