Doe in season question

So if my Saanen doe is in season right this minute (no doubt about that!) Does that mean that next month she should be in season around the same time of month?

No, it's usually 3 weeks but varies goat to goat.

As Gena said...it's 21 days, give or take.

Mark the day on your calender then watch her......

One of my girls is every 26 days like clock work.... Most does are in the 21 day range.... I start checking tails & watching on day 20.

Or, in the case of my doe with cystic ovaries, once she starts cycling it's crazy... She'll come in every 10-14 days unless I give her the cystorelin.....

Just take notes & watch, then you'll be able to predict heats & know how your girls cycle.

Thanks, I have to take this doe an hour and a half away to be bred so I want to be a close to perfect as possible. My other girls are being bred to my boer boys.
