How hard is it to breed goats?
Most goats breed easily when they are put together. It’s usually more of a challenge to keep them from breeding, than to get them started breeding. When breeding goats, you will need very few bucks, and a larger number of does. In fact, many goat breeders may have only one buck which breeds with dozens of does. It’s logical if you think about it.
