Blackberry rock Goats

 So I have decided to have a herd name for my goats..., Registered goats have a herd name in their registered names...I know mine aren't registered but still are mine...so introducing my one and only herd sire or maybe I should say one and only buck ( male)....                                  Blackberry Rock Watermelon and introducing                          my one and only doe                                          Blackberry Rock Popcorn... I don't know about these food names...but anyway oldest daughter and son-in-law name these two...

 So I decided to do  photo ( Fall) shoot with Popcorn and Watermelon First off Popcorn, I don't think she was very excited he's such a ham    Of course someone else had to have her photo taken as well

 This is my first breeding season of having goats. I know a few other animals of gestation, breeding facts, but goats is all new to me .Like for example , I know that rabbits can be bred at 6 months for the buck ( male) and about 8 months for the doe( female) and the gestation is 30 days give or take a day or two. Goats to my understanding mostly breed in the fall of the year except for a few breeds, Nigerian dwarfs, pygmy's, fainting and some Nubians. In which these breeds can breed year around. The gestation for goats is 5 months ( 150 days) where as Nigerian dwarf's can be anywhere from 145 days to 150 days. They can have a single birth, twins, triples and even quads. Some breed by penning their bucks ( males) and does ( females) for a couple of months . While others do what is called drive-by breeding to my understanding I choose a buck and then have them breed at one time while doe is in heat. Does go into heat for 1-3 days and can come back in every 21-28 days if not bred...
