Not funny backfourty, no joking bout that haha(might be true though). Naturlay ill post pics, iv had the camera ready for ever! oh i belive shes holding out....she was my first goat and is always the werdist, nuttyist, and annyoyingest one outa the bunch
I just went out and looked for her and she was standing on the milk stand like"okay mom udder full milk me!" when i told her no milking till there were babys she gave me a death glare hahaha! hopefuly that full udder will give her some encoragement! I know shes atleast got two, i can feel them when i feel her sides, possibly a third(or mistery lump) kid. My other doe is due in about a week and a half...so right after yas has some ill be right back in the nut house! well if all you guys are in the nut house we can atleast have some partys and i wont be alon

called mentor because she keeps rubbing on the fence and running roound screaming like a chicken wiht its head cut off, and she said shes probably a little nervious, needs my company and is trying to push the babys into position by rubbing on the fence, anyone hear of that before?

I've never "dug" for them. They're sensitive as the doe gets close to term. If you can't feel them easily while lightly running your fingers down either side of her spine, towards her rump, you've either been feelign for different ligaments or she is in fact ready to kid. Usually, though, there is a progression from firm as a pencil to gradually softer as the days draw down towards the deadline.
