I have two Nubians one is called Waddles and not because she has them. Waddles(3yrs) is very fat and has even has fat lumps on her, we tried to put her on a diet but she is like an air plant. Just destined to be fat I guess. The other one is hefty but not over fat (2yrs). Both does have come into heat no problem the 2 yr. old was bred and slipped her kids about 2 months into it. Waddles and she were both rebred to our Boer I have no idea if they have taken or not but they would be some of the last of our does to freshen if they have. The brown doe doesn't have a bag yet, Waddles does but it could be just fat as she has always had a bit of a bag. I was told that they are getting a bit old to be first timers but that it should happen and being fat should not be a big deteriant. Hard to say though I don't know. I can tell you I got a great deal on them so it was worth the gamble. Whatever you decide good luck
