    Nigerian Dwarf milking issues

    Hello, I am trying to milk my Nigerian Dwarf and seem to be having some issues with the left teat. She just kidded 2 weeks ago and yesterday was my first try.

    Yes. I did. And she ate it up. Not sure if there was more than one placenta if there were multiples.

    Hello All!

    She had her kid yesterday. A girl. Mom has been contracting through the night. I thought she had more but maybe done? I tried bouncing but can’t tell if there’s another one in there. It’s been over 12 hours now. It’s not possible for her to deliver again is it? And the garbage can works great!

    Hello All!

    Thank you! What other signs should I be looking for. It is cold here (under 30 degrees) I am worried about her going into labor and not having someone there to dry off the kids.

    New picture today. Her udder is filling up nicely. Still not sure if labor is imminent. I have tried feeling her ligaments but nit sure if I’m feeling the right thing.

    Is my goat pregnant?

    How about this: 55 gal garbage can. Hooked up the way you stated. I want to put a thermometer in there and see what the temp gets to.

    Hello All!

    Thank you! I will start getting that stuff together. I didn’t be even think of half the items you pointed out. I do have good shelters. But it is cold here. 20-30 degree temp and maybe 6-8 inches of snow on the ground.

    Hello All!

    That’s good to know. I wasn’t aware. We acquired them from a farm and didn’t really know much about them. The blue eyes are kind of weird I thought.

    Is my goat pregnant?

    Hello all. I have a goat that I think might be pregnant. Here are some pics any advice would be helpful as she has been getting bigger and bigger. But I’m not sure if she’s just gaining weight.
