Hi All!
I've been lingering, just so busy and nothing overly productive to add, so I've stayed quiet (usually for the best ).
Remember Murielle who aborted her twins very late last year, even though we didn't believe her to be bred? She's bred again and due within the next month or so. I caught her passing her mucous plug yesterday, so I keep a close daily eye on her. She, again, does not look pregnant at all. Over the past couple days she has carried out the right side more than ever before, so I'm hoping for 3 little, healthy babes in there.
We are truly surprised she hasn't aborted those kids, and again thought she wasn't pregnant. We had her out on a tether for a couple weeks for some fresh grass to try and get some weight on her (always a slender goat). We came home to find she had tangled her line up in some tall grass, and instead of standing or resting, must have done all she could to try and kill herself. She was bloated, on her back with her legs straight up and her head choked back. I thought she was dead. We came very close to putting her down, but decided if she chose to pull through, we'd let her. She had broken out of her pen over night and sent me on a wild goose chase looking for her. I thought the coyotes had eaten her, but she showed up randomly that day.
So, we're on standby with Murielle and, I thought, if you'd like to wait with me, then please do!
