Can doe continue in heat after being bred?

Hi

We don't have our own buck so we have to go to a buck owner to get her bred. Yesterday from morning she was in heat. So we took her in the evening. She got 2 proper shots and we took her home. Now today currently in morning she is again bleating and tail wagging.
So my question is does the heat continue even after being bred?

Thanks

Every goat is different on how long they are in heat for but yes it will keep going even after being bred. Just keep a eye on her in about 28ish days for another heat but chances are she is bred

Thanks for clarifying
I was pretty disappointed when from morning she is bleating and wagging the tail.
I’ve always heard 18-24 days for heat cycles. I had one goat who would go every 17 days like clockwork. I had another that was 21ish days. It varies by goat.

Geez I must have had humans on my mind or something. You are absolutely correct! It can swing one way or another by a few days too.

I wondered what that was about.
When we had our gentleman caller, one was only heat for a few hour window and the other stood for the buck several times over 3 days. And one seemed like she had some mild heat like behavior 1.5 weeks after breeding but both were pregnant
Does are different. It all varies.
