Improving the Breed

Here’s the rub. If all you want from your goats are milk and meat, you might assume that any “doe freshener” will serve the purpose. Even if your only interest is being a self-sufficient homesteader, that might be shortsighted. While a doe can be expected to produce one or two kids a year, a mature buck can breed as many as a hundred does a year. In your herd, his genetics will pass to all his offspring and have an impact — positive or negative — on many generations to come.
