Title: What age should she come into season?
Post by: Lesley Silvester on November 20, 2012, 10:46:31 pm

I'm sure that Pom came into season as about seven months old unless my memory is wrong.  Cloud is now nine months and nothing so far despite living with Pom who has just had her second season. Should I be worried?

One of mine didn't have a season til she was a goatling, so at about 18 months. She bred fine then. So no, I shouldn't worry.

Cloud was born in February but you have cheered me up, Jaykay.  By the time she is 18 months, Pom should have had her next one and if that's female and Cloud doesn't come into season, I think I'll eat her.
