The waiting game is on (Over!)

That just sounds so rough! My admiration goes out to anyone who can handle that! My husband works in and above the artic circle, and can BARELY handle being home lol. Amazing the adaptation!!! I spent the afternoon scraping Cashmere off of Shadow yesterday in prep of kids! So amazing how we didn't even knew she took until little teats came in (FF) about a week ago! She will definitely be on your forum of suprising does and pregnancies!

Cannot waiiiiiiiiit for babies!!!!!!!

Both ladies are bagging up nicely. I'm so excited to see Gretel's FF bag and production. She's almost the size of Agnes already and she's still got a ways to go, I believe.

I got chills just reading that!!!! Poor girls! I am really hoping they can kid when it warms a bit! My girls are looking good too! I'm chomping at the bit!!!! Our temps did a 180' and are climbing well into the 70s! So much for needing these sweaters I was in a panic to find lol. Maybe I should fed-ex them to you!!!

Hey! Send that nice weather over here, will you please?

1. Best thing my husband did for me was install a goat cam in the kidding pen. It connects to my iPad so I can "watch" what's going on from inside the house. Which does not keep me from padding out there in my slippers all hours of the night so I can get a better look at their expressions.

I'd be doing the same thing if I had a camera!

@steenbola This will be my first time BEING there for the birth as well, but I would say that looks like she's working on giving birth? You should start your own kidding thread, people who are way more experienced will be happy to help.

Here's some updated pictures.

Udders. This is Gretel's first freshening (Oberhasli on the right). I'm excited to see how much she gives, she looks to be forming uniformly though. She was dripping milk a couple days ago, but has since capped up. I apologize ahead of time for the cell phone pics.



She's had this crustiness in the mornings for the past two days. I would suspect this is normal? She passed her mucous plug a couple weeks ago.


Are we still thinking twins? She's about a year o a year and a half old or so. I want to say trips! But with my luck it'll be a single.






Here's Agnes. We've had a couple people say twins, but I think single for her. Her teats are thickening up and her bag has dropped, I don't think she'll end up with the best 'attachment', she's a meat goat, so no surprise. I kind of hope she was bred by the Saanen, could improve on that. Remember, this is at least her second freshening, maybe third.
