Hi everyone, I'm new to BYH and I'd like to utilize some of your guy's know how . I only have (had) 2 goats, An Alpine buck and doe. They ran together in a 1 acre paddock. My doe died about a month ago of what I speculate was a hemhorrage. Just came out to do the evening milking and she was dead in the grass. Blood had come out of her ears, mouth, nose, and eyes. I've been looking into getting a new doe for my buck but I want to try with a little cross breeding. I've read that the buck you mate the doe with has to be equal in weight to the doe to prevent oversized babies. Is this true?
Thanks,
