Very. I would take that as a warning. Buy from reputable breeders. Or at least responsible enough to know when their animals are bred......I have 2 does due in october/ november, and that's a little later than I prefer. 1 should have gotten bred, just not totally sure on that one yet, and 2 aren't bred, and Missy is due, and then the two bucks are fat.
Hang in there! Our last doe to kid was due end of June and by middle of May we figured she wasn't going to make it till the end of June as she was huge but she did- goats have a way of driving you nuts
I don't know is you have read it or not but you need to go back and find BlueMoonFarms thread about Anne (?)......That goat kept her on her toes for 2 months!
Wow, I have had that happen just not, on here. Had one pregnant with triplets and thought she would kid in January, and ended up kidding mid march. None of the kids made it though, which stinks.
It's okay. I didn't go anywhere for a few days because those were the first ever born here( talk about ugly crying). I have had goat longer than I have bred them. Had goats since April 24, 2014 ( same day I got my wisdom teeth out, and the same day I got my horse) and had started breeding them November last year, all of them were bon scattered throughout out March this year.
I am on night watch, it's the full moon, and Missy is LARGE enough, and her udder got bigger than yesterday, and I have noticed a change in her ligaments, they are still there, but I can tell it's getting close the ligaments being gone. I can almost put my fingers all the way are her spine/tail head. Better be at least one doeling.
