      • If you keep a doe and an intact buck together, you will have baby goats. You can leave the baby with the mom and not bother to milk her and she will eventually wean the baby herself.

Will they fight all the time or just establish herd rank and leave it alone? I have about 4 acres fenced for goats and 11 does.

  7. How you breed with their bucks is up to you and your management, but here are some choices to filter through. Do keep a calendar where you can write down every breeding that you notice. We keep two — one in the barn and a second backup one in the house in case the one in the barn gets destroyed (a fast grab from a doe in the milk room can ...

  8. Housing bucks in a barn with your does may not be the best option as it will only make your bucks crazy, wanting to get to the does no matter what the cost. Now, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. I just find it very difficult, and for that reason, we keep our bucks outside in a lean to shelter.
