Instructions
Watch for signs of heat in your doe. Some does are aseasonal breeders, meaning they come into heat all year long. Others are seasonal and will only be receptive between August and February. Signs of heat include a thick mucus discharge from her vulva, frequent tail wagging (called flagging), increased interest in bucks, mounting other does or allowing herself to be mounted. If you have a buck, he may begin to make blubbering noises when she comes near.
Place the doe with the buck of your choice when she first shows signs of being in heat. Allow the buck to breed your doe at least three times. Some breeders leave them together as long as an hour, since some does are not immediately receptive.
Record the breeding date on your calendar. Count 155 days later and mark your doe's due date. If she comes into heat again, place her with the buck again. Some does continue to have heats through the early stage of their pregnancies, so be sure to mark each breeding.
How to Breed Doeling Goats
A sexually mature doeling goat is generally referred to as a junior or a maiden, meaning she has never been bred. Even though the term doeling can refer to a doe up to a year of age, in practice, it is a term reserved for does who are not yet physically mature. Does who have not reached at least 75 percent of their adult size should not be bred, but a maiden doe who is healthy and meets the minimum weight threshold for her breed can easily be bred.
