The waiting game is on (Over!)

next, gretel. not nearly as wide as she was. but, is that a mucus plug!? her udder is a little bigger but not noticable if you're not touching her. I thought I'd see more sooner from a dairy breed, but then my Estelle was fully bagged up a month before she kidded, so my basis is warped.

I'm guessing twins?

and agnes. she looks not pregnant anymore but is so hollow! I've also seen distinct kicks from within. if you would have told me a year ago I would be taking pictures of goat vulvas without second thought, I would have laughed.

 

[Sweetened]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......

I miscalculated my dates!! the fifth due date was for when we origi ally thought murielle would kid!!!!! IM NOT DUE UNTIL THE 20TH!!

*collapse*

There we go...that's making more sense now. My girls are feb 24/26 and look similar to Gretel. Agnes does look further along possibly. Bambi hollowed out right before she delivered. I swore she didn't even look preggers at the end.

You poor thing. Been chompng at the bit for a while now only to find out you miscalculated!

 

[Sweetened]

I'm so incredibly embarrassed! But the good news is: I have that week off!!!

 

[BrownSheep]

Been there

We don't have a technical naming theme but when I start to look at our names I think we have the same as you.

Mable, Opal, Henry, Eli,Harry, Maude,Ruby, Sophie...so on and so forth

 

[Sweetened]

Oi. Soooo embarrassed.

I love love love! your names. They are similar to our style for sure. We (Okay, I try to theme everything (birds not included).

 

[Southern by choice]

Ok that is why we due hand breeding...out of the pen..breed watch to make sure they took...due date exact no worries.

Actually pretty funny!

 

[Sweetened]

Yeah that's what I will be doing. How do you bring them into heat when you want to though, that's my question. I think if murielle isn't bred, I will breed her for a fall kid, but need to know how to get that planned right.

 

[Southern by choice]

The Nigies are easy because they are year round breeders the Kiko's are too... the only one that isn't is the Lamancha...we are curious what the mini mancha will be.
Some of ours are screamers when they are in heat, some just flag a lot. The Lamancha is the hardest... a silent goat that doesn't show many signs..she will go down and stand by the buck fenceline.
You can do the buckrag too and that will sometimes bring them into heat.
