Well this weekend Priscilla came back into heat so the breeding in September did not take. I think it had a lot to do with Brady's inexperience.
Since September Brady has been in full rut. He is becoming what every goat owner told me, a stinky boy. His new hobbies are peeing on himself and his face and torturing Bruschi (wether) by constantly humping him. Brady has a very strong stinky smell to him and the smell will linger for hours on your clothes and skin even with washing really good.

Saturday afternoon we came home from Hailey's soccer game and Priscilla was hollering away. I thought something was wrong with one of her girls because Priscilla is never vocal. Hailey & I went down to the barn and saw Priscilla at the fence all by herself, walking back and forth wagging her tail and hollering at Brady.
Realizing she was in heat I opened the door for her to see if she wanted to go see Brady and she ran right over to his pasture. I opened up the gate and she ran in. Brady began giving attention to her immediately. Clicking and wagging is tongue at her and smelling her. Priscilla stayed very close to him and rubbed her head on Brady's body.

Within 5 minutes Brady fervently did the deed multiple times with Priscilla standing still for him. I watched for a few more minutes and decided to leave Priscilla with Brady for the day and all night.
Priscilla went back in with the girls the next morning. We will be watching closely in 21 days to see if she comes back into heat. If she does we will put her back with Brady again if not we will be hoping for babies are the middle of March 2012.
