How old should a doe be when you breed her?

  1. Sr. age but before 1 year with exceptions for giant breeds

  2. Exactly 1 year old

  3. Under 6 months of age

  4. After 2 years of age

The correct answer is: Sr. age but before 1 year with exceptions for giant breeds

Doe should be bred between 8 months to 1 year old, as stated in option A. However, there are exceptions for giant breeds which may need to wait until they reach a senior age or advanced maturity before breeding. Breeding a doe that is too young (under 6 months) or too old (after 2 years) can result in potential health problems for the doe and her offspring. Waiting until she is at least 8 months old allows her to reach sexual maturity, while breeding her after 2 years old can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery. Therefore, option A is the most accurate answer.
