I've been waiting patiently for JCKN Goose on the Loose ( Jack) to show some interest in the girls. On September 23rd I finally caught him acting like a buck! I suspect my daughter's lamancha doe Daisy was bred that day and possibly Violet. Scampi & Garden went in with him on 10/3 then I gave him a chance with herd queen Esther on 10/4 and now he's got the 3 yearlings Georgette, Cranberry & Snow.
Fingers crossed for pregnant test results in a month :storkgirl::storkboy:

No girls in heat today though they all seem to have discharge guessing extra semen flushing out? In any case I went ahead and strapped the buck apron on him. I don't want my little bottle baby Why Why bred and packing water and hay to 2 pens is a pain. He isn't impressed he's wondering around the pen hollering lol

Well the aprons back off Daisy is in love. I walked into find her walking circles around him flagging her tail this morning. Jasper's smelly arrival seems to have thrown the girls into some false heats as I'm pretty positive she was in heat 8 days ago.

It's been an odd breeding season for sure! I have read about people talk about these 5 or 7 day heats after breeding but hadn't experience that in my own herd until this year.
I had it last breeding season when I borrowed my neighbors buck to teach my little guys a lesson. Almost everyone took on the second heat which was good then I was sure the baby's weren't half nigerian lol

It may be odd but I'm insanely excited that Jack's got more of an attitude starting no more letting the girls push him around and I caught him sniffing the does and doing a lip curl today! He hasn't done anything bucky since the fall. Maybe something is finally fixing the problem or his smelly competition is helping him?

Well I'm glad you guys are my husband thinks I'm crazy when I text him with goat news lol. And the big news Scampi seems to coming into heat Jasper was chasing her then Jack tried to mount her!!!! (dance) The two of them are hanging out in a kidding stall and I'm trying to figure out what I can sell to buy some more does just for him (rofl)

Ok...now all these kidds coming are from your new buck...right? So when they are born.and get old enough.they can be bred to the 1st buck. The 1st buck will be ready.then. So you could keep both bucks and alternate the does..you wont need to buy.more does...just wait.
Keeps hubby happy...less $$$ and you can keep more goats!!!:heehee::clever:

I could but I have horrible luck I'd feel a million times better if he had a few batches of kids on the way. And I may have already been debating the breeder most of my girls came from has 4 yearling half sisters to Jasper for sale that I'd really love to own. He doesn't mind doe purchases as long as I don't ask him to pay:heehee:

Well it looks like I may be dna testing kids if Scampi produces anything nice.Jack didn't like being in the stall out with competition he's a breeding blubbering machine. Seriously he even tried to breed Jasper (rofl) . I really suspect he was afraid Esther still trying to run him off.
