On a spur of the moment decision I ended up breeding another doe so we'll actually have 14 does kidding in 2016. Merry Oaks Oreo's Swamp Music was bred on Thursday to Taxman meaning I'll have 5 FFs all kidding in April. I'll only have two dry yearlings for 2016 now instead of 3 and April will be busier than planned.
Oh wait, I just realized my title is false...I still have to breed a Nigerian Dwarf doeling next month. I do want her to freshen as a yearling so I am going to go ahead and breed for May kids.
My new buck shed is almost finished which means I can pick up my buck soon! I really don't want any more May babies because we'll already be feeding kids for 8 months, but if any of the doelings don't settle and come back into heat then they will be bred to Google in December.
These are the due dates for 13 does that are currently bred.
