We have a vet from UC Davis that is very good telling dates; mine doesn't even try
A likely story... It is after all what we all do...

Ultrasound said otherwise lol That's why I paid the extra money so I wouldn't have to even question that. Because at this point I would think she's just eating this mess up and getting fluffy was just her style. But, I can say, there was at least 1 kid on the ultrasound.
She is still holding out. Getting bigger each day. Her udder looks huge. I just knew that we'd come home after being "out of town" yesterday to some kids...nope, just her being fat

How's your buck doing? Is he still trying to bust in there?

Yes, the same vet that said a week or so....almost 8 weeks ago.That's the same vet that said due in a week or less, right?
DH is the one who called the doe on it...he swore she was pregnant, I didn't believe him. So I called the vet, who also didn't do pregnancy tests on goats, only offered the ultra sound. And I was proven wrong. She was carrying at least 1 kid.
DH and I have taken this into consideration and clearly by the time we "think" she is pregnant, she's probably half way through.
This has been nothing but super educational. And it REALLY has me understanding how important, or at least less stressful, a planned pregnancy is.

He's calmed down for the most part. He is still pretty aggressive for no reason though. He was actually breaking one of my gates that had chain link on it. I had to look my electric to make the whole darn gate hot she he's stop ramming it!
And the kids don't go in there, he trapped them in their tree house a weekend ago.That was a fun call to get while at work. I've boarded up her stall pretty well, so I believe he's just given up on being able to get in there. Plus she stays away from that side now.
Sorry, but there's no need for an aggressive animal... I'd say make him goat burger and get a new, healthy, happy, friendly one. As an aside, there is some thought that his actions/behavior may be genetic and can be passed along...

Yeah, that is called dog food.
