I know this was a while ago but if you wanted to you could expand your herd by breeding your does to one buck have them produce babies then breed the offspring(atleast one year old) to your other buck.You will have to breed them in order for the does to lactate(produce milk)
Yeah but in most cases they will accept the bottle.With one doe we didn't have a bottle but she just would not nurse this buckling so we had to put her in the milking stand and let the baby nurse until we got a bottle.
The Nubian goat thing was a typo I thought I edited it out already 🤔 as for the GMR when we used it (very rarely) it worked for us but not everyone's experiences are the same.You could also milk the goats and then put it in a bottle for the babies/baby
Last time we birthed them it was a pygmy and we were bringing them in for the night becuz it was gonna get cold then our goat March went into labor right before we brought them in so we had to drag her up to the stall and my grandfather fell down while doing it so we named the two buckling's she...
For anyone learning about breeding goats!
(I have NDG's and Pygmys so my experience is with them)
Here's the technical goat terms:
Buck or Billy=Male goat capable of breeding.
Doe or Nanny=Female goat.
Doeling= A female goat who has not been bred or not sexually mature.
Kid=A Baby Goat...
