I actually took a few new pics of Caramel tonight! She’s due in about 10 days...Day 145 is 10/5. Need to get a kidding stall ready. All of the other pens are occupied.

Caramel is a stinker and didn’t want to cooperate...her udder is definitely twice the size since the last pics.

The Lamanchas aren’t bred yet. They won’t be a year old until Feb. Plan is for them to kid in April.

Oh i see so you won't be breeding the lamancha until december. We have some young ones we will be breeding late or waiting on too.

Caramel definitely looks like she is one of those last minute fill goats. Our boer goat did that as an FF.

Caramel is getting closer...I’m thinking twins. :fl for doelings! Day 145 is Friday so today is Day 143. Udder is fuller but still not to capacity and she has started dropping. Ligs are soft and deep but still present. I’m checking them twice daily.

Of course Diamond had to block the hips in this one AND stick out her tongue! Lol

I think we are in GO mode. Caramel is doing small pushes, her udder has ballooned over the course of the day, she’s pacing, and she’s had some discharge. Also extremely vocal and loving (both unusual.) Yesterday was Day 145.

These pics are from this afternoon.

Udder pic is courtesy of DD1. I had to hold Caramel so it’s not the greatest pic. Her udder is quite big and actually got bigger before I checked on her the next time and is even bigger now.

I thought I got a pic of Jasmine chewing on the seat of my pants but it’s not on my phone so I took another while sitting with Caramel. She’s about 3/4 the size of her mother.

Love the black & white "group". Just eye candy.

Your hay makes lovely bedding. :) I hate the expense & "waste" because I can't raise it to help offset prices. You have some good stuff! Kudos.

@Mini Horses I’m a sucker for the ones that get picked on so we have a tendency to cause waste because I always throw extra in random pans so that everyone can eat. The barn will eventually be set up with extra hay feeders that are spread out so that everyone stands a fair chance.
