I went out with a flash light last night to check on them, but I didn't turn on the barn lights like I normally would, and I didn't speak to them. Mamma goat came stomping up the stairs, out side, snorting and huffing at me. She is still in charge, and willing and able to protect the herd even as round as she is. What a good momma. No wonder I have never lost a goat to a predator. (knock on wood).

I think today or tonight. I am determined to see her deliver. She is a sneaky one. I am thankful to have this forum. Few people in my life share my interest in photos of goat butts! I feel she is changing shape, but her udder seems to be shrinking?
