got my first buck and 2 more does i have a herd!

wow this is fun. And what a sweet natured buck. I was afraid of him at first because I don't like male critters but he is proving to be a sweetheart. And for the most part all the goats are hanging together and playing nicely.
on't la monchas have a spring heat? I am sooo hoping for a spring fling.i will get pictures when i can. 1 buck and 4 does ,I have a herd!

Just never turn your back on an intact male animale.

Now we need pictures.

Them going into heat will be really stretching it but it is possible.
