boys got in with the girls again!

[pygmybabies]

So I come home Tuesday to find my pygmy and pygmy/nigerian bucklings 6 1/2 months old in with the girls. Except someone cocoa the littlest one {same age though} she was out in pasture.....couldn't figure out how they got over there...so put them back....sat I come home to find the boys in with the girls again! Find a place in fence where "maybe" they went through so I fix it...left again came back and tito is in there again...he has to be jumping! Put him in another area for the night...next morning he is still with boys...after church tito is out in pasture with girls....so I guess my plans to my breeding schedule is ruined! I knew who I was gonna breed with who...and seperated them accordingly starting next week or the following...and 2 of them I gdefinately wanted to wait until novemberas they were born march 30th and april 12th....they are not showing signs of heat though. Do you think I should go ahead and stick with my plans anyways just in case some weren't in heat and I might still get what I wanted? Although if titio got them all that will be fine also he is a great boy...I just wanted to spread out the kidding as this will be my first time as a grandma.
Thanks

I'd lute them, particularly if you are planning on keeping any of the kids for future breedings.

You can't assume the sire's by the looks of the kids, blood testing would be the only for sure way to know. Of course if the kids are going for meat or something it is irrelevant.
I'm willing to bet they jumped the fence because the does were in heat, regardless of outside signs in the does.

My trouble has been the opposite so far this year. I can keep the boys in their pen now, but two of my does scooted under the fence in a spot I NEVER would've thought they could have. I let them run out of hay for a few hours, and OMG they were starving and HAD to get over into the other pasture before they wasted away due to malnutrition.

I would go ahead & follow through with your original plan, hopefully Tito didn't get the job done. If any of them settle then you'll know when they don't come in heat in November.

Our very first baby goat born here was about 5 months when she got bred. Due to our own stupidity we kept the buck with the doe's, we had just had goats 6 months or so. We know better now & keep them seperate also. Every once in awile we end up with a little escape artist though!

Some of our goats can really jump, I would have never believed how high if someone just told me until I seen them do it, easy 4 feet some of them from a standing posistion & these are all mini goats.

I just kept only one buck, and kept everyone together. Simple and effective. You just have to change bucks every couple of years if you keep doelings to grow up and breed.

the buck pen we are working on is with goat/sheep fence and electric fence around that. now the pig has actually made a hole in the fence and they all just walked through
