UPDATE: vet came out and she is having a false pregnancy

Update: She still has 0 udder but started having contractions Friday-Saturday morning. Lost mucous plug(1st one) around December 4th. Her 150 day mark was the 14th so i believe she is at her 154 day mark today. Gonna call the vet out Wednesday if she doesn’t kid by then

yes sadly…but not the end of the world 😆😆

Breeding in August/September screws up the breeding system for us up here since we mostly produce for 4H/FFAers and for myself showing. I think i’ll wait to see if she kids and if not just rebreed in May/June

current pics of her

well breeding season for us for the Boer goats are May-August and kidding October-January. I might wait to see if she kids and if not then rebreed her in May

could i wait until her due date to see if she kids? just not CD&T her and grain her incase she isn’t pregnant…and then rebred is she hasn’t kidded?

I don’t really mind late kids since i won’t be showin any in the market class…I’ve been told. or to blood test bc it won’t clearly state that they are bred just will say that might have pregnancy hormones in them. And ultrasound is way to expensive over here….

Good morning, or evening homesteaders. I’ve got a doe who has kidded before with triplets. she is a PB Boer doe and should be kiddin around beginning of December. She has not yet bagged up, doesn’t look huge, stood for my ND buck and humped her daughter. could it be hormones from her pregnancy...

i’ve never had a problem with the bucks i’ve had with keeping them 1/2 acre to 3 acres away from my does. they didn’t seem to care much as they were farther away and couldn’t get to the does. it’s also easier to keep them farther away since they will gain their weight. if you put them close to...

they killed all 3 of my ducks. but no evidence was found on how they got in and no hair was found on the fencing. these were my replacement ducks since i recently just lost 3 other ones. they were my babies and they were so excited to see me every day i went to down there

hey y’all so i got a text saying from my grandma that my ducks have passed and this scat was left next to the murder scene. what is this animal?

Hello homesteaders! I am trying to convince my mama about me buying a buck or two...I raise Nigerian Dwarf and Boer goats for my 4H and FFA projects, I told my moms tons of pros and cons and she is starting to get convinced but she said she wants a cost comparison on owning my own buck and...

ok. i was kinda thinkin that as well. i didn’t know if i needed to look in for like body depth, wideness, etc for a good breeding doe

thank you! i’m hoping they will get me some good butts and wethers! i’m plannin on keepin her kids(obviously a wether(if she has one) for my market goat project), and then if she gives me a doe i’m plannin on keepin her for a while to see her body structure. what should i start lookin for in a...

the doe is the first two picture. she is from a really good line of breeding stock. she is a year old and about 150+ pounds. the 3rd and 4th pictures are the buck. that was when he was around 6 months old. he is now a year old. that is my 4H leaders buck. i am showin for 4H and FFA

i’ve bought from my 4H leader the previous 2 years. i’m done with fair. i am starting to breed this year tho. so i’ll have babies in december, my fair is in June. i have a picture of my doe and the buck if you want to see?

i have purebred boer wether goats. they do bc their siblings always have it. just never my goats for some reason. i always do hardcore butt workouts for them 🤣.

Hello Homesteaders! I have been rasing market wethers for 2 years going on 3...I have raised 3 goats so far and none of them have had a butt on them, only stocky shoulders...does anyone know of a way to get butts on them? I know it has to do with genetics, and I have my own breeding doe this...
