Twins and whats the odds?

[mberryrfd]

Ok our first Boer doe of this season gave birth to twin bucklings.

Now the odds since we started this last year we have had 3 does kid
2 singles and this set of twins
but all 4 were BUCkLINGS
WHATS THE ODDS

[Sweet Goats]

All Bucklings? That is a bummer. At least if that was my does. I am praying for does.

Are these yearlings? I haven't raised Boers, but my Nubians usually give twins or triplets. The first year I had goats, the yearlings tended toward singles. I don't know if I'm doing something different, or it's the difference in goats, but even my young does usually throw twins now.
Odds are fifty/fifty for does or bucks, but sometimes we have a "doe" year, and sometimes we get more bucks. It depends, of course, on the buck.

Don't you hope for bucks with meat goats?

[neehifarm]

Your buck determines the sex, so if you want more doelings....switch the daddy!

[mberryrfd]

Yes for meat goats you do what the bucklings
but we are trying to build up to 20 does which is twice what
we currently have

It is all of the does first time
But one of this pair of twins will not become a wether
looks like a change of plans instead of raing our own we
might just have to sale a few bucks and buy them
