You will need one teaser doe (doe in standing heat) for every 3 bucks collected. If the doe is under a year of age, having more than one doe in heat is necessary. Try to avoid using kids as teaser does. Does a year of age and older work best and are better able to support larger bucks and enable them to mount easily. Please note: Nigerian Dwarf kids are NOT large enough to be a teaser. If you are unsure of how to bring a doe into standing heat for your collection stop, consult with your veterinarian or contact us for our protocol. We recommend a 10-14 day CIDR protocol for best results.

Having does in strong, standing heats is imperative for a successful collection.
