I don't know if this the right place to post or not, but I was wondering what you guys think about what age to breed our new doe? She has just turned three moths old, and weighs a bit more then our buck, and looks maybe the same size as him. When would you breed her? I was originally going to breed her at about five months, but was wondering what you think?
Any answers appreciated :)

Oops... I forgot to add that she's a Netherland Dwarf, for those of you that didn't see my other posts.
 
5 months old is when I'd breed her. Size doesn't determine when to breed, some breeds are 5 pounds at 8 weeks old ;) maturity does and she should be sexually mature at 5 months.

If she is bigger than the buck at 12 weeks then she likely doesnt have the dwarf gene, and this is why she is larger than him.
