sTILL Not bred!!!

[christie]

My doe that doesn't show heats is at the breeders now for over a month. Thinking her being there near a buck may help some action take place. They look her over 2xs a day they have seen nothing. They stick her in w/ the buck and she runs from him. We are loosing time to get her bred. She would be my only milk goat... so no milk for next year, and already I wouldn't be getting it till June!

So in an older post we talked about LUTE. And the breeder suggested it being our last resort. Should I use it?
Is it to late? Cause the lute just recycles them per se, and I would have to wait another 21 days right?
That will be well into FEBruary.
Is LUte safe for the goat? I like to keep things as natural as possible, this seems to be taking me way out of that realm, now I m messing with hormones!!!
Does Lute effect the milk? So upset shes not bred yet... Any suggestions!

ps. she didn't show last year either, but was a first freshner, I just took her w/ my other does for haha's and the buck got her and it took! So she did tke by coincidence and chance last year. Shes a 2 yr old now.

No one has any advice???

I believe if you lute, you breed on the second heat afterward, so 42 days later.

How do you know she is not bred? Have you pulled blood.
What breed is she?
Has she been sick? Up to date on worming? At correct weight?

Lots of things can interfere with breeding

The breeder said they didn't hook up yet. She doesn't leave them unattended, because she says the buck just chases them all day, and my doe has already jumped out of a stall to get away from him.
She is healthy, de wormed, good weight.
She is a nubian.
I am wondering if just the stress from the move there has stunted her cycle.
She is kept with her doling from last spring, so she knows another goat. And she has been getting along with the breeders herd of does too.
So you can't breed on the 1st heat? why?

Praise@God... The breeder just ca;lled me my doe finally hooked up with her buck!!! And she will put them together tomorrow for good measure!

Just for future reference, I've luted does and they will usually come in within 24-48 hours. I've never had one not take when bred on that initial cycle and all have delivered healthy multiples exactly 5 months later. I just luted two young does this evening that had gone to silent mode after all the seniors were bred (I wanted the younger ones kidding later), if they cycle tomorrow, they'll be bred tomorrow.
