Mike,
I have always bred back to back with my sheep and goats. With my experience and my experience only I have found if you put the ram/buck in within two weeks one would get the next cycle of heat. I have found if I wait longer I will miss some of the heat cycles. Some have stated the ram/buck will fight and kill the lamb/kid breeding back this quickly but so far I have never had this experience. I keep a ram/buck with my ewes/does all the time and have not had any problems with back to back breeder and/or lambs/kids getting injured from the ram/buck.
