Check out the 2023 Nigerian Dwarf freshening schedule and reservation list on CG Heartbeats Farm. All due dates are 145 days from last date bred. There are 8 planned pairings for the winter/spring season with a possible 2 or 3 for fall. Not all does have been bred or are confirmed pregnant as I put this page together.
I am working on creating individual pages for each doe/buck to share more about each dam and sire. It will likely be a few months until all the data is compiled and posted.
Milk testing will begin in February.
