Breeding Question

[Melbertsch]

Looking forward and trying to decide which buckling to keep. I lost my buck this year, and need to keep one(or two) of the little ones.
Question:
I realize not to breed a buck to his mother, but can I breed him to his sister by the same father but different mother? If so, then I could potentially keep two bucklings, using one to breed to everyone except his mother and same birthday sister and the other to breed to HIS mother and same birthday sister. Does that make sense? Also, this would give each one a buddy so they wouldnt be alone. If not i'll wether one to use for company.

Yes. You can do that.

My vet says you call it line breeding if it works and inbreeding if it doesn't.

no reason not to breed him to all your does as long as you CULL responcibly, its not going to hurt to breed to his mother, if you breed with a goal of improvement of your stock and cull anything that doesnt line up to that goal it doesnt matter who you breed to who, infact you will WANT to breed related animals to strengthen the good traights and remove the bad,

If all the animals have strong traits that you want to breed for, do it. If they have any glaring weaknesses (steep rump, etc) that you don't want, doing a close breeding like this will reinforce those.
