This is unrelated to the buck since he bred the outside doe after he bred your three, and if the outside does discharge (which ironically a doe in the later stages of heat does have a discharge that goes from clear to white) but if she had had clymydia or something you would have had abortions in the does bred after this doe, which you didn't. Since this is effecting all the does it just has to be nutritional or hormonal. Is your area difficient in selenium or copper? It would be down right odd for all the does to become cystic all at the same time, so I would rule that out. 3 cloud burst pregnancies all at the same time is odd also, and I can't explain them comming into milk with no kids, you also have to have an abortion fairly well along in pregnancy to have the doe come into milk. I would guess you need to up your copper, selenium and vitamin E. I would also find myself a good vet who knows how to use GNHR, a hormone. I would be giving selenium injections, copper bolous's and vitamin E injections, before breeding along with the hormone. Might also want to go over to Egroups and join Nubain Talk, for quality of answer this is really the way to go. Vicki
