30 days bred, or more?

[BNW]

Hey Everyone! I need some opinions and thoughts about my girl Ivy. She should be 30 days bred, but over the last couple of weeks, she's started getting an udder, and it seems her belly has dropped. She's always been slightly obese, so I don't really think her roundness has drastically increased. My buck did get in overnight once, but I didn't think she was ready to breed. He showed no interest in her that morning. I'm just not sure. So any opinions yall have please feel free to share. Thank you!

Greetings and welcome to BYH from NE TX! So glad you joined us. IMHO, yep, she's pregnant, and much more than 30 days. From what I've witnessed, the buck escaped to be with her because she was in heat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have went to the trouble. If he got her, probably multiple times in a matter of less than an hour, her pheromones would change and he would once again lose interest. Once he's been successful, generally she won't let him mess with her anymore either. My guess would be twins, and 4-8 weeks away. Is she a first freshener or has she kidded before? That can have some bearing on when she starts to bag up.

There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. You'll get to "meet" folks at the same time. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Oh, and we all love pics, so post them anytime you feel the need! Please make yourself at home!

PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. I recommend at least your state as most folks won't be able to figure out where if you put anything more specific (county, town, street, etc) by itself. Old folks like me will never remember from this post & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!
