Since Ol Thelma kidded - Here's Louise --- Sad update. Really not good

[SuburbanFarmChic]

This is a boer/nubian FF that we got the end of May. Had been with a buck penned from about the beginning of April for 6 weeks. Her previous owner had this one and the white boer we have and decided after breeding them that she wanted dairy not meat so... we have meat goats for now. They are actually going to a friend of mine but CPA tests are a nightmare and I'm hanging onto them for now since they are FF bred at about 8/9 mos.

Louise started uddering up about eh, a week ago. Before that she'd just been slightly puffy. Her hind end is JUST starting to loosen up too. Knowing the doe code she'll have them some time before Thanksgiving.

Anybody want to lay bets on date and qty? You get a Nilla Wafer if you win. (that's what the goats get as a prize so I figure it's only fair) She was REALLY not being helpful when it came to hoohoo pictures today.

New moon, July 30th. I'm sure you'll be sleep deprived and have your nails chewed to the quick by then.

p.s. It'd take more than a nilla wafer for me to let anyone take a pic of my hooha too.

Well we missed the 30th and she's still growing. Still building her udder too although in the last two days it has had most of its recent growth. Her back end is starting to look a bit more slack and she's starting to sink in around the tail.

... I go on vacation on Tuesday. Who wants to lay bets on Wed morning?
