In heat and pregnant

Some does must release hormones that make bucks think they are in heat, during the pregnancy. I had a doe that seemed to be in heat
every 20 days even after bred with a proven buck. Fortunately, I used the same buck each time. Imagine my surprise when she kidded, 5
months after the first successful mating. (no udder development, no obvious signs of pregnancy and the buck mounted her each time!). She
did have milk for the kid and her udder developed after kidding. (darn goat!)

Goats can be strange critters! Yes, they can show heat signs. She may also have cystic ovaries- a hormone shot (from the vet) can help, if
she isn't preg. And, she certainly could have been briefly preg.

This happened with my doe, she seemed to go in heat every month after being bred, the buck would not leave her alone, so I marked all the breeding dates and when she would be due on the calendar , she kidded 147 days from the first breeding date , so she could be pregnant or she could not be pregnant, the only way to tell is blood test, ultrasound, or wait 5 months and see if she kids. Good luck

Well thanks for that info. Yet another instance showing that the goats have not read the goat manual. I won't worry about her then and just wait and see what happens in Sept.

Interesting. My goat pretended to be in heat again today. Yelling, flagging and closely followed by the buck. This lasted less than an hour.
