    She's driving me crazy! Pregnant? Img heavy.

    Yeah, she would be somewhere around 10 months though he didn't seem sure of her age when I got her. I thought of that as a possibility...my other girl, Eliza, is in heat right now but it's so obvious! She mounts Anabelle and her lady bits are very puffy but a completely different sort of...

    She's driving me crazy! Pregnant? Img heavy.

    As far as I know, she just lived with male and female goats all mixed. Boer, Spanish, and mixes of both. He said she's 75/25 boer/spanish. I have had her for about 4 months but I am not positive on the date so it could be another month instead of just 3 more weeks I suppose. But, that would...

    She's driving me crazy! Pregnant? Img heavy.

    Thanks. I really hope you are right. I just do not want her to go through that so young. So it's possible to feel movement from her rumen on her right side, too? I thought about the pregnancy test but since I will know for sure within a month figured it's pointless now. I am sure I will...

    She's driving me crazy! Pregnant? Img heavy.

    Hello, everyone. Sorry I haven't been around at all and am now just jumping on to ask this, but life has been way too crazy here! I think my goat may be pregnant but I just don't know. If she is, judging by how long I have had her she would have no more than about 3 weeks to go. I don't...

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)

    Oh wow, Government Canyon definitely sounds like my kind of place! I will have to take my boys there soon! One of my sons' ex girlfriend always said Texas is the Australia of the US...everything here wants to kill you and has the means to! I got attacked by fire ants a few days ago just...

    Thank you. They definitely melt me. :love Is there a better place for pics? I looked around and didn't see a place dedicated to just pics so I posted here, but I wasn't sure.

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)

    LMK17, that's too funny about the kids making the sand castle. I am really glad mine isn't the only one! :lol: Yeah, it is pretty awful that even those pretty fruit will poke you. One little easy trick I learned is to get a bbq lighter and quickly burn them off. I then peel them the same...

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)

    Thanks, Pastor Dave. Honestly, I would LOVE to raise meat animals but I just can't. I tried with meat chicken about 3 years ago. Started with 6. When it came time to butcher them it took me about two weeks to get up the nerve. I finally did 1. I cried for days and the others just lived out...

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)

    It's funny because I actually have a strip of red clay that runs right through my driveway and that's it. Everything else is the sand. My 6 y/o has made sand castles in the yard so I totally get the beach reference! :lol: I hope it doesn't dry out so fast for you this year. That's just so...

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)

    Thank you, DutchBunny03. I figured if I was having girlie goats they had to have pretty, feminine names. :)

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)

    Yeah, it's definitely not soil. Lol Well, things like stinging nettle and sand burs do great! :barnie I have pretty good grass in my front yard and buy garden soil for planting. The trees I planted are very firmly rooted. The main issue is that it dries out very quickly. I really hope the...

    A couple of random breeding questions.

    Oh dear! :barnieI am afraid my goat supply is going to increase, as well. I haven't had these long and already want more so that's a really bad sign! :D I bet your bottle baby is such a doll. I know when my girls have babies I am going to get way too attached way too easy! Thankfully I am...

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)

    Oh my goodness, LMK17, we don't just have sandy soil, we have nothing but pure sand in most of the yard! I will admit that has taken some getting used to. And yes, it's everywhere and it does get tracked in the house AND the car! Thankfully my whole house is tile so I just sweep a LOT...

    A couple of random breeding questions.

    Goatgirl, thank you very much for the link to that thread and the information. I have had Eliza for about 3 weeks and Anabelle a bit longer. I may try the ultrasound in a couple of weeks since I am going to worry until I know something for sure. I have heard that the milk from meat goats is...

    A couple of random breeding questions.

    Hello, everyone. I am new here and new to goats. I have a couple of questions that I hope aren't TOO stupid. First, I just recently got my two girls from different places. Anabelle is about 5 months old and Boer/Spanish, Eliza is about 7 months old and Nubian/Nigerian dwarf. I know for a...

    Hello from Floresville, TX. :)
