So, my mistake, I should have researched more. Here's my concern, I have two nubian/boer cross goats, one is a buck and other is a doe. The doe is only 8 months old and she's almost certainly been bred by the buck probably a month ago. This was the plan, I thought it would be fine as she'll be around a year when she kids, until I started hearing stories about how most people wait until the doe is like two at least. Now I'm scared. I doubt I'll be able to afford a vet to do a C-section when it comes time, I mean I can't imagine how much that'll run, if I can even find a vet that will do that around here. I understand this is my fault and I take the blame fully if anything happens. I'm assuming I may have to assist with the birth, which is fine and I will prepare for that, but if she isn't able to birth at all that's obviously going to be an issue. I don't want to lose her or the kids obviously.
My question is, are the horror stories true or can does give birth at a year?
