Great googley moogley! Look at how hugemongous she is! I bet she has four beautiful babies.

KimM 01/14/10 07:55 PM

THAT'S what I call deep bodied!! I say quads - 2&2. Jan 15th.

cmharris6002 01/15/10 07:49 AM

Well, apparently since I milk her for 10 months, she wants to milk this pregnancy for all its worth!! No kids yet...

Ozarkquilter46 01/15/10 09:43 AM

that is to funny LOL

Jcran 01/15/10 10:06 AM

Ok, now I am just ticked off. my daughter and I are heading down to UC Davis' goat day thing so I probably won't be near a computer. NOW she'll kid and we'll have to WAIT to see how many. Will you please walk out there and tell her JUST how inconsiderate I think she's being...at this point, you should tell her that there'd better be 4 healthy Nationals-quality doelings in there "OR ELSE"...bring out a package of summer sausage or something to really motivate her.

ps good luck!!;)

MissMenagerie 01/15/10 10:38 AM

Nothing yet?? The suspense is killing me!

Today, 3 bucklings, 2 doelings.

Starsmom 01/15/10 03:46 PM

She can't possibly hold out much longer. I said 5, 3 bucklings and 2 doelings. Can't wait to see what she has.
BTW, make sure camera is ready so we get pictures ASAP.

Oat Bucket Farm 01/15/10 07:27 PM

Yeah, you had better make sure you have pics when you post. Too many people are waiting, you would have a mop of pitchfork waving, picture wanting lunatics after you,LOL.
