Oh.good ha ha. I didn't even know she was in labor. I had run to the next town over, to the feed mill, and went to the store...came home, put stuff away and my six year old says, mom....Cadence has yucky stuff coming out of her vagina! And she's slinging it everywhere!

I ran outside and sure enough it was just that thin long goop. Something told me to lock her up quick, so I did and it keeps doubling. I'm so excited

funny thing is, she spends all day in the pasture, and never comes up, but decided to come up to the house, crawl on the porch and stand next to the front door. When I walked outside, she calmly lead me to the barn, walked in the stall, and started do her progress.
Who says goats aren't smart!!!

Some does just know . My one girl Mia knows that every year I am her baby. So when she gets into early labor she comes straight over to me and proceeds to clean me and talk to me like her baby.

I can't WAIT to see what Candace has .

I'm guessing 1 doe and 1 buck. If not, then twin bucks.

Good luck. I have to say I've never seen that kind of goop. Weird.

This is the exact same kind of goop she had last year

Send some of those birthing vibes to my girls . Even though I have 10 kids on the ground I am anxious to see what these last two have.

How is Ms. Candace?? Any babies yet?

Am I wrong? Is this not labor?? Ugh, the craziness starts again.
She's been losing the mucous plug for weeks. Small white stringy bits that barely hang off the vulva. And then today, huge clear stringy globs. Like bubbling out of her. Still there. Still up and down, pawing. Still goopy. But no pushing! And no baby?? I was sure this meant babies are coming?
Are they coming??
Ugh

It can take a few hours sometimes for does to get serious. I had a doe who went in to early labor at 3-4 pm and I didn't have kids until 9:30pm.

I've had a ewe in early labor for about 24 hours before she started pushing. I'm sure she is in labor. Not all of your goats can be weird. Lol

Some of my does have had faster harder labors and other does are slooooooow and steady. It all depends on the doe and even then it changes from one year to the next . Isn't it so much fun?

In a world of instant gratification, this is like AOL dial up

Slow as molasses in January. Or is it February....either way, its march and she needs to get a move on it before April gets here

Lots of yawning. Flip flopping sides. Only have three outlets in the barn, so its either heat lamp, or baby monitor. Guess I'll be sitting under this heat lamp for a while


PS, we have cold temps tonight, and the possibility of snow. Geesh and it was such a warm week

She is getting uncomfortable . That is always a good sign! Is she pooping a lot?
