Just got home and found that my Nubian buck has jumped the fence (has never done this) and has been in with my does...two of them are only 6 1/2 months old and about 70 pounds. What should I do?
Thanks

Write it down...I'd let it ride.

Ifn their backsides are a 'standard' level of clean I would guess he did NOT get them. Unless of course you have a dog that cleans them.

Never have seen a clean butt after some breeding.

Give them high protein feed from now until they kid. Pregnancy SUCKS protein out of does, to the point that they will rob their bones for it.

Protein, calcium, and fats are your three major things to be pouring down their throats if they are pregnant and still growing.

If you are REALLY worried about their age, size, and weight, you can wait 14 days and then give them 2.5 cc of lutelyse to abort any pregnancy.

Weight is minimum for breeding.

I would follow the advice on the extra feed too. Ifn you want to know for sure 30 days draw blood and send for pregnancy test.

What Gena said! No big deal I breed all my girls at 70 pounds.
