I really wanted to do this Jerry Springer style, but that was too much work. We have a doe that we had in the breed pen with a buck starting at the beginning of August 2017. On August 8 a different buck broke in there with them. The doe was really in heat on that day. On December 31, 2017 we had two does born. I just had them DNA tested and the kids have different dads. They look a little different and the one that looks better is from our new buck that we were trying to breed to. So, you guys are always right. Twin goats can be born from two different dads. We have DNA out for one more set of kids. I really need to strengthen that fence.
I can get pictures. The main difference is the length of body. The new buck we are using is much longer bodied than the other.
Okay hold up ----so Dam get bred by Buck 1...while Dam is pregnant...buck 2 jumps fence and breeds her...she can have a baby from buck 1 and a baby from buck 2 at the same time?
Doe in heat was bred on same day from 2 different bucks. One sperm from buck one succeeded and one sperm from buck 2 made it.
Thats crazy, id like pictures. Should make them famous. I would really like to see more research on this. If this could be developed this could be awesome for the future of livestock genetics
It happened at our farm 4 times this year. Oberhasli Doe kidded a Lamancha buckling and Boer Doeling. Oberhasli Doe kidded, Toggenburg doeling and Guernsey doeling. LaMancha doe kidded Toggenburg buck and elf ear Guernsey. And Oberhasli Doe kidded, Toggenburg Doeling and Guernsey Buckling. Lesson learned. Don't leave husband alone with goats.
They first 2 are twins. The 2nd 2 are twins, and the 3rd 2 are twins. I don't have pictures of the 4th set of twins.
Last fall I AI’d a doe that was living in the pen with the buck, and got one AI sired kid, and one live breeding sired kid.
That is so cool! I'll admit I'd be tempted to try that to try out 2 different breeding options at once
Dogs and cats can have litters with 2 different dads, why not goats?? I had a dog that was impregnated by two different boy-os. She actually had two different due dates! Mind you, they were due within 48 hours of each other....
