Cervical insemination of indigenous does with frozen-thawed goat semen during the non-breeding season

Introduction We received a request from the owner of a communal flock of indigenous goats in the Northern Province to inseminate some of his does with Gorno Altai semen. The only income he derived from this flock was through the sale of live goats at Christmas. He wanted to embark on a cross-breeding programme in an attempt to create an additional source of income from the fibre that would potentially be produced by the Gorno Altai x indigenous crosses.
