Very curious what happened with your goat??
Mine is due any day and I’m trying to take in as much info as I can. And honestly I’ve been stalking this post…I need more details!! Thanks!!

Any kids?

Probably at full term since she was running with bucks. Udder can suddenly appear after giving birth. I have had mamas develope giant udders halfway through pregnancy, and others not show any udder development until they give birth. Same with size of animal. Have had sheep with huge barrels an only one lamb and others that look like they are not bred deliver large twins. Just like people they are a different.

No kids yet, I’m headed down to the pasture to bring them up to the barn so I could be speaking too soon

 

[Youngfarmer2019]

Nope. No kids. You know what, I’m done waiting, pretty sure it was a false alarm. Now that I say that watch me wake up to kids

My father-in-law asked what have I been up to today. I said staring at my goat’s rear end. He choked on his drink
I too finally came in and called it a night… praying she waits until morning. She and I are both newbies at this kidding business, I’m hoping she’ll allow me to help. Or at least observe

If things are going well, it's best to observe.

Most often, things go along just fine, although we are a nervous wreck. I've rarely had to help my goats but, there have been a couple over the years. Nothing major. I've been lucky. Last year I had preemies once -- first in over 20 yrs.

Mini horses, more assists and some were not successful. Even two c-sections. But far more good than bad over the many years I raised them.

To be 100% honest I’m not nervous in any way at all. I’ve seen tons on animal births and have assisted with births of up to triplets in goats before. However I would like to be there because it will be Notre Lee’s first time.

I’m definitely nervous. I’ve never assisted in animal births. I’ve only ever been present at the births of my own children. I have watched hours of births of goats on YouTube. It’s a dinner time show for me nowmy family sits by and silently eats
I’m hoping and praying everything goes smooth and Rainy has some internal instincts and I’m just an observer

So her ligs are softening again, no discharge, slight development in her udder, hollowed out flanks like her belly has dropped. I’ll try and get a pic. She doesn’t look pregnant at all but she was confirmed pregnant, I promise

She’s a very flighty goat, so it’s hard to get pics of her…
