Hmm...
Well to reply to what I know you actually typed.
No I don't know when the sheep were bred.
My goats all have bred dates except for the one, Anne because my husband forgot to write it down. Everyone else has a date thank you.
We left the ram in with the sheep this year due to his size and age. it was actually suggested for me to do so by members of this group.
So to answer your statement of "You don't' seem to have a clue when any of your animals are bred." your both wrong, and right.
And best of all, there is nothing wrong with that or with my herd thank you.
Edited so say:
Though if you have anything constructive, helpful honest advice to add I will be more then willing to listen and hear it :)

Well since you read my response before I edited, I edited my response for this reason. I knew you would be offended and that's why I removed. The only constructive advice I can give you is that you should try to record when your animals are bred. We never forget to write our dates down. And that animals are not in labor or show signs of labor ( your goat Annie) from another thread for two months. A goats gestation is 5 months. There is no way a goat is faking labor as you said for two months. You are misinterpreting their actions. While a thread like that gets a lot of followers, I think when you write things like that you confuse people. That's my opinion and advice to you.

You have beautiful animals.

All I will do is point out that I do write down due dates as i have already said. I openly ask for advice. I obviously understand that goats do not stay in labor for two months. That was a joke to poke fun at the frustration of the situation which everyone seems to have understood except for you... :barnie
When you post, the actual unedited post you first send is sent directly to my inbox...
So, on that note subject change please...

Shes got to be soon.
Another thing i have noticed with my sheep is that once the vulva swells and gets super puffy then they usually go within days.
Once again I am forced to say just keep an eye on her.
Has she lamed at all before?
