Fun Farm Fact Friday… September 11th

Given that it is breeding season it’s time for another goat breeding fact!

Goats generally have 21 day cycles, although this can vary depending on breed and the individual goat. They are in heat for 24-36 hours with only about 12 of those hours being considered optimal. If you are not allowing your bucks to run with the does you have to watch your herd closely for signs of heat.
