Questions are how you learn! Though doing research to make sure what people post is right is important too!

Though if I were to offer my opinion on farm n louisana's doe, she does not look like she should have been breed... She still looks like a 'kid'. Like of those slower to mature goats who has not reached a healthy size/weight. If a goat still looks like a baby, they almost certainly aren't ready for breeding.,,

12-18 months is a MUCH better age to breed a goat at. I personally would never breed a goat as young as eight months. Sorry, her life and health is worth too much to me, I'd rather wait. I'd rather not have a doe need a C-section because she didn't have time to properly mature! Plus, what profit is there if she has a birthing complication requiring vet care due to her young age and/or her health is wrecked because of it?

I do know that people make does squeeze out kids far too young, make them have back to back pregnancies, etc. but it is not what responsible breeders do.

Australian wild goats, a few years ago I traded some of my chooks for a couple of eating goats. When I got them one was heavily pregnant so I kept her, she shows a bit a "Sanan" (spelling) Called Mary she has the little bells like structures on her neck; her kids Jack and Jill show a lot Cashmear. (spelling again)

And very quiet, Jack loves his head being scratched, the girls are a bit stand offish but well behaved
