I had a doe breed, then a week later breed again. That was months ago and her first due date is October 20. Her second would be October 27th.
I am curious, of yall that have had does do this which breeding usually took, the first or the second? She is already quite large and is starting to fill out her udder. This is her second kidding and she is a Nubian bred to a ND.

I had one do this and she caught on the second breeding. But be prepared! I'd be watching her closely around the first due date too.

Thanks Pook!
I was figuring that may be the case. She bred 2 days the first time and 1 day the second time. I just thought it odd for her to re breed so quickly, but then again Nana my other doe was breeding the first date also, maybe Gretta was showing her Herd Queen-ness lol.
