She never cycled. Teats are boy sized. She has much more of a beard at her age then she should have. Clyde was pretty good at throwing non breeding does for reasons we cant figure. She was under 2% line bred.
The black does dam was sold when she was a month old. Not an easy thing to transfer a month old kid from dam to bottle at that age but nothing we havent done before. Nope. Tried every trick in the book and she simply refused to take a bottle or lamb bar. Worse, she even refused to nurse off another doe. She she effectively weaned herself at a month old. We dont sell stunted animals so kept her around to see if we could bring her up to an acceptable condition by the time she was a yearling. But it never happened. She has good height but over all kinda scrawny and its obvious she was stunted because of her conformation. So before she is sold for butcher, figured to offer her up first.
