Question Is she in season already?
Just how soon after kidding will a doe go back into heat. I've got one girl showing all the symptoms and her babies are only about two weeks old. Is this normal....

Great now how big does a buckling need to be before he starts trying to accommodate her? I have several baby bucks out in the pasture with their moms.....
