Will a young doe improve her mothering skills?

[where I want to]

I have a doe who just gave birth at the age of one year- she should not have been bred so young even if she was a good size but..
Anyway she is an OK mom- she worries about them when she can't locate them but gets irritated with them if they try to nurse when she is eating or bother her when she paying attention to anything - when she does nurse them, she does not do it as long as my other does. She will not watch over them if she wants to go with the herd.
In otherwords, she is ok but not a really good mom. I do not really like her personality- she is skittery. So if she is not going to be a better mom than she is, I will pass her on.
Will a young doe do better the next breeding? Or is it likely she is what she will always be?

Mine always improve. They are sometimes pretty confused at first. I usually give them their own space where they can bond without interference or distraction. Also, if her teats are sore, she may not want them to nurse. Gently milk her out a bit if she becomes engorged. Try to fix the problem rather than pass it on.

I probably should explain a little more. I have only 3 does and would prefer two. The girls are pets with a purpose- they produce meat for me and I guarentee a home for them for life whether they become unable to kid or not. But I am fortunate in that I never have sell a goat. If I don't like them, I will give them away. Or exchange for a bucking for meat. The girls I have are pretty good quality and can easily find homes. I would certainly tell the persons intersted in her why I am not keeping her.
I have have kept an eye on her teats- her bag does not see uncomfortably full nor are her teats raw. She just seems like a teen mom to me- not quite grown up herself. Her mom is a great mom so I am not convinced it is anything more than immaturity on her part. But I just wanted opinions. If most experinced people think she will improve, I will probably hold on to her as she and her mom really like each other's company. But if not, then I will probably pass her on as I like friendly does as my pets. And since I keep them forever, it's important to me that I enjoy their company.

All does leave their kids while they go to graze, and the kids are supposed to hide while she goes out to eat.

I routinely freshened does at or near a year old. They do take time to get the hang of mothering, but my experience has been that as long as they nurse the kids, they get better at mothering with time. I can't put a finger on exactly what I mean by being "better" at it...examples would be that older does are a little more protective, partly because they can be (they're higher up on the pecking order), they call their kids to nurse and check them a lot to make sure everyone is nursing, and they are calmer and less frazzled because again, they're higher on the pecking order and are more relaxed.

In other words, if she was by herself, or the other does were all younger or less dominant, she'd probably be a better mom and less skittish.

"lfrazzled" I like that!

If you already see yourself not liking this doe, then don't keep her. If you want to give her a chance, she will most likely improve.
