Will I know when my Nigerian Dwarf goes into heat?

I want to take her to to get bred, but haven't noticed her in heat yet. I think I know what to look for, but never had goats before.

In this situation, you could try a buck rag. Get a rag and either tie it around a buck's neck for a day, or rub it all over the buck's smelliness, and put it in a jar. Then, if you suspect heat, you can let your doe smell it and see her reaction.

I know with my does, most of them have very silent heats unless the buck is nearby.

I hope this helps.
