Stupid question?

Hi all!

I just got a 4 1/2 month old Nubian doe. She is so pretty. Anyway I also have a 4 month old boer buckling that is not weaned yet. Is it possible that he could breed the new doe? I have them all together at the moment because I am trying to let the boer doe that I have get used to her before I wean the buckling. So in a few days I am hoping that it works. Should I just wean him cold turkey or take him away during the day and put them back together at night.? I would like to do it as stress free to the kids as possible.

Thanks!!


I will get a picture posted soon.

It's technically possible that he could breed her if she comes into heat.

If she comes in heat, very possible. Likely.
