They really do.... they just all of a sudden got huge. I couldn't believe it and dates are verified by ultrasound. I will be so excited for multiples!!!
This girl is 68 days along and the photo doesn't do it justice....she is HUGE!!! This will be her 3rd kidding and she had triplets her 1st and 2nd time.
With the goats we waited a little bit which was cool to see the gender but unfortunately, they were not able to see behind the 1st baby to check for multiples... next time I think I'll go earlier. I'd rather have a count than genders I think. Either way, my family is so looking forward to this...
Since I don't have a buck on my farm, bringing a buck in induces estrus. The 3 girls I bred all stood within 15 days and all 3 settled and are confirmed via ultrasound. I only kept him on the grounds for 1 heat because of when their due dates would fall if he stayed any later (I'm in Western NY...
I put the buck right in with the girls for 2 weeks. So, I'm thinking statistically I'm probably more likely to have bucklings. I'm so interested to see this all pan out. I'm really hoping for 1 keeper doeling but I guess we can do what we want. Ultimately its up to Him. 🤷♀️
I had them ultrasounded to confirm pregnancy but the babies were too big with the probe she was using (long, flat probe vs. the small round one... we did get to see gender on 2 babies tho!) to see anything behind baby #1.
This spring I brought a new ND doe into my herd. She has freshened twice and had triplets both times. She is confirmed pregnant and a little over 2 months along. Do you you find that if your doe has had triplets twice in a row, that they will again have triplets or even possibly quads? I would...
I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 30th. Neither of my does have gone back into heat...from what I can tell...I brought this one to a farm with 3 bucks and she couldn't have cared less. never peed or flicked her tail a single time we were there. I brought a buck rag home to test my other...
Still not sure. I tried the p-tests from Emlab but they're a joke. Different answers everytime. She's had discharge for 18 days now. She should go into heat today but without a buck on premise that's tricky. I think I'll draw blood in a couple weeks if its not clear. She does seem to have some...
Okay, good to know!! We bred these girls with a smaller buck...a Nigerian Dwarf buck. I never saw her stand Very well for him so, do you think that's a good indicator that he "got her" 🤣
My girls were just officially bred for the first time. (I say officially because a buck got in with them a few times with previous owner but we have no idea if they successfully bred...though I've had my suspicions of pregnancy.) Each time 1 of my girls was bred she would spot bright red from...
Hello friends! I'm very new to keeping goats. I bought my first 2 alpine/nubian almost 5 month old sister doelings about 2 weeks ago. I began to notice 1 of the doelings was growing in the belly area and the area near her utter area began looking puffed up as well. I spoke to the original owner...
