Doe flagging her tail but runs from buck???

So frustrated I have been tring to get this doe bred since I bought her. She backs up to the buck fence and flags tail but when I put her in with him she runs away and yells at the top of her lungs. Any suggestions? By the way they are Nubians.
Thanks
Rasha

Is she a first-timer? If so, you might just have to hold her still and let him do the deed.

Of course, it may be that he's just not her type of fellow...

Srsly, I agree with mammabooh: You may have to hold her still. A leash and a pocket of apple slices or raising could help.

We had a nubian like that. We figured out that we could only get her hand-bred if we timed it "just" right. From the time she started screaming it was usually about 12 hrs. 3x a day we would put her and the buck together, holding her till he decided it was time or it wasn't. Fun fun. LOL
