Some bucks just aren't eager to get the job done. You may have to get a diff buck.

Is he young? Are you sure your does are in heat? None of my girls seemed to be really coming into heat, I had a younger buck out with them because I wanted him to be the main buck to breed then let the older one catch what he missed. Yesterday I changed bucks thinking little guy was just not getting it. So far 2 does have come into heat, the older one smells bad so I think thats what triggered the heats. He may also be doing more then you think he is doing. On some of my does last year I only knew they got bred because of messy tails, I didnt see or hear anything. And yes he may not be a.......very manly man lol.

If it is hot, he may be doing it at night or when you aren't looking.
Write down on the calender, when the Does are in heat and count 18 to 21 days and watch, if they come in again, they aren't preggo, if they do they are preggo.

The first thing that comes to mind is that he is a non-breeder. The 2nd thing that comes to mind is that he is taking care of business after dark, so he isn't worried about it. If they come back in heat in roughly 21 days, you will know what the problem is.

Good luck
If none are settled, you can have him tested for sperm count.
Is his testies of good size or super small?

Those marking harnesses sure do show you what you have missed. I was going to say try that as well. It also seems there are as crazy goat said non breeder. I hear about bucks not doing their job often. A lady friend of mine purchased a older buck never saw any breeding but figured she just missed the deed. It was luck she found a good deal on a wether buck put him out there and bred all the does with the older one just laying under a tree. Breeding harnesses are about $20 and $4 for the chalk. I would think about getting one its better to maybe waist a little money and know if your feeding something that's not pulling his weight.

Cheaper to work with tail chalk (or tail marker depending on your location). Paint the does with different colors (if you only have a few) or just paint them all am run through daily checks 2x/day. Watch his chest and under his front legs, and watch her tail head, and rump for smudges.

I have some of the Halloween spray hair color. Will that work as well?

The hair spray coloring probably wouldn't work because it would likely set in place once dried, so it wouldn't give a clear picture of what you are wanting to see.

I have one I can't keep in a fence and one that couldn't care less. Try a BoSe shot.

My buck just realized he has a penis and he gets enjoyment out of it! But my does aren't in heat so he is pleasuring himself.
