Senior pygmy does are does aged 2 years and older. These does are of breeding age and are the lifeline of the herd, for goat breeders. Our does are bred to bucks that are carefully selected, to enhance breed characteristics and improve overall genetics.
A pygmy doe can have from one to five kids, but it is most common for them to have twins. Twins or triplets are preferred, as the kids are smaller and typically have less issues at kidding. Here at Indian Creek Pygmies, we have had 3 separate quad birthings, and had to bottle feed two kids from each, as 4 kids are just too much for the doe to tend to.
Does can and are shown after kiddings. As per NPGA rules, a doe must have a live birth before it may obtain a PGCH title (permanent grand champion). Timing is important between showing and kidding. Typically, a doe will nurse her kids 8 - 10 weeks before weaning. After weaning she will need to be conditioned to show level, which could take an additional 2 months. It is not uncommon for a doe over 6 years of age to be competitive in the show ring.

Junior Does:
Junior Pygmy does are the does under 2 years of age. These does represent the future of the herd, so it is important to breed for the characteristics you as a goat breeder, prefer your herd to exhibit.
While focusing on structure and breed characteristics, we prefer a wide deep bodied, big boned doe, with average height, and a little extra length of body. A well muscled goat from the brisket to the shoulders and back through the hind quarters is ideal. Short and cobby, but well balanced, is the rule of thumb.
