I have 4 pygmy does right now, and am picking up my first pygmy buckling in a little less than 2 weeks. I've been wanting to bred pygmies for about 2 years, but am nervous about things that could go wrong during delivery. I purchased 2 of my does about a year and a half ago, never intending to breed them (they each had single births that resulted in C-sections and stillborn kids). I have one beautiful year-old doe and one 4 month-old (both which I am planning on breeding next fall). The buckling is so beautiful----dark brown and white with blue eyes---I just couldn't pass up the chance to own him (I would also like to earn stud money from him).
I'm just a little nervous, and need some encouragement from those with experience. Do problems arrive during birth/delivery often, or is it minimal? I love my does so much, and would not forgive myself if something happened to them----but I also think I should give it a go.
