I can't tell you the number of times I have gone to the barn in the morning to find kids on the ground. Or the number of times I have stayed up all night waiting for them to kid.

No babies yet.

That's why I said "may or may not" LOL
Still yelling, up down, big udder, the whole bit. I was able to feel her ligs this AM, she has them but is definitely hollowing out and getting softer. Last year she didn't loose her ligs until an hour before kidding.

May or may not be in labor, no committing there. You sound like a weather man...it may or may not rain, might snow too, or then again...maybe not. :lol:

Good luck with whatever Lucy decides to do. ;)

Except the weather man would also say:
"may or may not be pregnant"

They don't go out on a limb unless it is pouring buckets.

Babies!

Okay, well not my baby… but the other farm I'm caring for had a darling little alpine doeling born! It was so adorable, when I went to trim the cord & did it the kid was giving "newborn kisses". Almost died of the cuteness :love Can't wait until my girls kid!
