We have 7 does that are supposed to kid between January 22 and March 27. We are excited because we have introduced a Kiko sure to our herd and are hoping for some fast growing, hearty meat goats. 4 if our does are boer with one Kiko doe and two Nubian does.
Maisie is due January 22 and she is a boer doe, she was bred to our Kiko buck ichabod.
Then Lickaroo is due February 10 and she is a Nubian doe that was only exposed to my moms Nubian buck Jack, he is just over a year old, I hope she caught. So far I only have pictures of Maisie and Lickaroo, mostly because they are due first and I am not completely sure on any one else’s due date except Lucy who is due March 27. The brown doe is Maisie and the black is Lickaroo. Last year Maisie had twins and Lickaroo had polled triplets. I am hoping for a doeling from Lickaroo so I can keep her and milk her. Lickaroo produces a lot of milk but her udder looks terrible. Hoping for better luck with a doeling!

Kidding season is so much fun! We raised Boers prior to getting Nigies. This will be our first season of Nigie kidding but I did enjoy the Boer kids!

Day 144 for Maisie, her ligaments are still there but it is very soft on both sides. She has been having lots of mucous and her bag is filling even more, it never got shiny last year, but close. Any guesses on how many are in there?

So today is 145 for Maisie, she is passing quite a bit of mucus and when I felt her ligaments this morning they were quite soft, almost not there, it’s supposed to snow this weekend so that is probably when she will have them.

So my boer doe Tornado is due,??? Yeah I don’t know, before February 27 because we took them away from the buck September 30. She is my only FF this year and I am excited because she has had trouble getting pregnant in the past so I am glad she finally caught. I am watching her the closest. Yesterday she was licking her teats and yawning, rubbing against the fence, talking to her belly, scratching her back, and all that good stuff. Her ligaments are still fairly firm though. Doe code! I am thinking she will only have one, what do you guys think? Does she look like she has a month to go? Or more? Or less?

Well it is day 151 for Maisie and she is driving me crazy! Her ligaments are coming and going, never quite disappearing. Yesterday she was stretching her neck so that it almost touched her back and was doing that lip thing that bucks do to smell the does. She has had so much mucus that I continue to be amazed that more comes out. She is as wide as a barn but does look like she has dropped, it’s hard to tell though because she is a Boer and she is very muscular. I am going crazy!
