Pooch Test Please

Ok....so these are my two 5 month old la mancha does. back in june, my nubian buck got in the pen with them. they were 3 months old at the time and he was 4 months. we didnt think much of it until the neighbor said he saw the buck "riding" on the does. i really really hope neither of them is bred but i'd like your opinions. they'd be right at 2 months now if they are. pics arent the best but i cant find my digital camera so i took these with my cell. if they are, what kind of precautions do i need to take? they are both about 60 pounds or so and quite tall and are growing steadily. i would never intentionally breed a doe this young.

Bump up your blood test by 1 month. If the test is positive be ready with warm water lube and be ready to pull. I had one breed at 5 months (buck was unbeleaveableat getting out of his pen and elc fencea and untied) was able to deliver fine just had to help strech and pull. Not ideal but all was safe. Feed no grain just heifer and horse hay. WHen delivered wean off baby and feed alfalfa hay and lots of grain to boost growth.
