Doe breeding

I have a Nigerian doe that had stillborn twins in first week of Feb. She was really depressed for a while, and lost weight, but now starting to look pretty good again. I'm wondering if I should try breeding her again, or take a full year off?

I'm giving the other girls that kidded at the same time the rest of the year off.

thanks!

When do you plan to breed them again? Certainly breeding this fall is fine.

I don't want any more winter babies. So either breed in June or wait till Jan.

If you breed in Nov, you get April kids. Definitely don't breed your girls in June if they recently had kids.
