 fence next to the bucks. The doe in heat can be 

 caught and the number taken and recorded in a book. 

 She is then placed in a small pen with a buck and 

 his number is recorded with hers, together with the 

 date. If the doe does not conceive, she can be put 

 with the same buck again at a later date, and one has 

 approximate knowledge of when she should drop her 

 kid. In this manner a buck will serve about two or 

 three does in the evening, and one or two in the morn- 

 ing. The kid is marked at birth and the number re- 

 corded after that of the mother. The breeding of re- 

 corded stock is of value only for special reasons, and 

 is not advisable with large flocks, as it is expensive.
