Its bad I know..... This is the first time ive ever had this to happen to me and ive had goats for 5 years now...
Tell me about it lol I have bad news...she is in heat.....Little rascal!!
Yep...shes in heat... Wagging her tail for my buck...Lamancha and Nubian breeds are both seasonal breeders and typically don't come into season until the fall of the year. With this doeling being only approximately 2 months old, are you sure it's a heat cycle and not something else going on with her.
Oh my.![]()
Yeah its bad... I will most likely have a blood test done on her in a couple months..Oh no!!!
Is giving lute now not an option? Would you rather have the pregnancy confirmed 40-50 days later and then have her deliver the under developed fetus? Are you considering letting her carry to term? Won't she cycle back into season in 21 days if the breeding didn't take? Just wondering how this type of thing is handled in a doeling so extremely young.Yeah its bad...

I really dont think she will take to the breeding because she was just coming into heat. And today she is definitely in heat. I would do the lute but she is a very healthy strong & fast growing girl plus the buck is a ND so the kids would hopefully be smaller then a normal Lamancha/Nubian. She is also a wide doe so thats one good thing.Is giving lute now not an option? Would you rather have the pregnancy confirmed 40-50 days later and then have her deliver the under developed fetus?

Thanks for the advice it really helps! And today she is in FULL standing heat like she wont stop standing by the little pen the buck is in... I am VERY MUCH hoping she dose not take. I really don't think she will take but I guess we shall see...You can do a blood test 30 days after breeding. No reason to wait 2 months. I wouldn't be luting her since there is a good chance she isn't pregnant. But a blood test wouldn't hurt to be positive.
