Well, now I am concerned. He has been in with the Ewe's since I purchased them
in May. I just seperated him to keep my lonely buck company, and I decided if
the ewe's weren't bred than I wanted to wait and time it for later babies. I
wasn't worried because I thought my older ewe was pregnant
Ok. Another question. What should I expect wgt wise. He is about

Hi Oneta,
You'll probably do a few before you decide which cuts you like the best!

streaks being very tough and some being very tender...seems a lot of

Mishael,

showing any interest that seems very strange to me. If he is se
Most of my ram lambs are trying to 'breed' before they are weaned from their
mothers! They get really serious about it (and actually start to figure out
what they are doing and who they should be after) at about 3-4 months. I

Hi, Everybody,
My tiny herd is doing really well, I can't believe how they blossomed with a
little good feed and TLC. I am wondering about my ram, I don't know his exact
age probably about 6-7 months old. I am wondering when he will show some
interest in the ladies. I am a goat breeder and m
