Doe mounting other (heat, right?)

[xoxoGOATSxoxo]

Would a doe mount another doe for any other reason besides heat? I haven't been able to catch her in heat yet this year, but she might have been yesterday, because she mounted the other doe. I just want to make sure. (or as sure as I can be with a goat...)

One of them should be in heat...sometimes a doe will do that to show dominance, but since it's breeding season, I would assume the former.

Many times if my girls are feeling really spunky there will be spats break out and some will mount others and some will fight. Some will even hunch and stretch themselves like a buck does when he's stretching his "equipment"! Usually there are none in heat, its all just good fun and cooler weather. But it can also mean a doe is in heat.

Speaking of good fun my 7-month-old LaMancha doe rides my three-month-old wether repeatedly throughout the day’s routine. Funny as heck, believe me neither is in heat, just good comical goat fun....Tennessee John

Day before yesterday my younger doe was vocal and twiching her tail and another doe acting as though she was trying to ride her. I loaded up the smaller doe and drove about 30 miles to get her bred. Job done and returned her home. Yesterday I went to feed and the other doe that was riding the first one was vocal and twiching her tail so had to make another trip back to the breeders. Thank goodness I have only one more doe that needs breeding. Bet your doe is in heat or comming into heat.

Now you just pray that neither of those were first false heats.......

sounds like doe in heat & most doe that come in heat will try to make it out with buck until they r ready to have the deed done.
