Rob helpfully relates:

<<To give birth there has to be a male involved.
If you are not interested in anything but getting milk and a goat for the 
freezer any male goat will do, related or not. >>

It has been a great shock to me, living as I do in a farming community, that
many -- oh hell, most -- people appear not to have a clue that birth is
necessary for a female animal to produce milk. I know that many of the
ignorant had to have been breastfed. We really have taken too many steps
away from the basics.
