Want some more good new :) Pygmys are not seasonal breeders like dairy goats. Your pygmy guy will stay in a state of rut for the rest of his life now, obviously with alot of does in heat he will be even more "randy" with the girls all bred probably less so. And as bucks mature the stink, the peeing/spraying and the other wonderful behaviors they have (that they only seem to do in from of your mother-in-law :) gets worse! Castrate him now! Or let him breed the doe one more time and then have him castrated! Make sure and castrate your bucklings born early, so you won't have to go through this again. Vicki
