Its that time again.

I'm glad your daughter is okay. House cleaning can wait.... it just gets dirty again anyway

MirandaT · #**422** 03/26/14, 04:16 PM

Ha, I agree. Little turds are always getting into something, wrestling, climbing too high in a tree. She's a huge tomboy with a hearing impairment. Impaired in the sense she only hears half of what I say....

Last year I told her to stay out of the well house. Ten minutes later she came in with an inch long gash in her thigh from a rusty nail where she was running through the well house. Lol

Its always something. Here in KY, you take a child into the ER and they understand childhood injuries associated with farm life.
In CA, same scenario, CPS would be called in.:what:

Nope, I've had goats go all different gestational lengths.

Anything on your end Miranda? My girls are sitting crossing their legs

. But I think both are in the process of getting closer.

No Justine. Nothing. Troubles ligs are still so soft I can barely barely feel them just at the top if the supreme. And cadence is playing the same game. I'm leaving for church soon and Hope they both decide to get serious while I'm away. Fat chance though.

MirandaT · #**426** 03/26/14, 06:24 PM

Daisy however, the oops baby, won't shut up all day and is doing the squat to no pee thing. Yesterday she had ligs, today I can't catch her to check. Watch her go before the others....I'm hoping she has a few weeks yet

GoldenWood Farm · #**427** 03/26/14, 07:34 PM

Aren't goats fun! Lady kind of acts like she could go soon but I am not holding my breath. Ziva has another day or two before I think she will go. Poor Lady looks like a beached whale and she just can't get comfy

. I hope she goes soon because I am starting to feel bad just looking at her

.

Well out I go to mix up my grain and start the evening milking chores. Maybe Lady will start pushing RIGHT then

.

Justine

MirandaT · #**428** 03/26/14, 08:32 PM

Well,....did she start pushing???? Lol

I just got home from church. NOTHING. Finally grabbed the baby, She still has ligs, but boy is she acting pitiful. Trouble is barely hanging onto this pregnancy just to erk me

And Cadence still has soft ligs too. So most likely no babies here tonight.

QUESTION??? How quickly can they go from ligs, to NO LIGS....???

Frosted Mini's · #**429** 03/26/14, 08:50 PM

I've had them kid with still having barely barely feelable ligaments.

myheaven · #**430** 03/26/14, 09:18 PM

Last year honey had ligs was in early labor. I figured yeah I got time. I went inside to instruct the children on supper came out and bam doe and buck on the ground all in just 10 minutes. I felt her ligs after, yup still there. Never fully lost them. I figure one kicked the other out and as the first one crested the pelvis grabbed the other and drug him/her out. Only logical way right!?

GoldenWood Farm · #**431** 03/26/14, 11:02 PM

Lady is getting close

. Looks like I am doing night checks...*sigh*.

Nice to know I'm not the only one still waiting and wondering when these does (4 of them) are going to kid. I figure it will be as soon as I leave to go out of town to my quilt retreat this weekend. I'll be leaving Friday and coming back Monday, so I'm leaving hubby a list of what to do, and phone numbers for my goat mentor and vet just in case.

GoldenWood Farm · #**433** 03/27/14, 12:56 AM

Nope you have me and Miranda waiting with you

. I currently am up waiting for one of my does to start pushing. Lady has mucus and is currently very restless but no pushing that I can see on the barn cam yet.

Miranda did your girls go while you where gone?

Justine

onebizebee · #**434** 03/27/14, 05:34 AM

I am joining the wait. My Lily is showing signs of labor. Moved her in to a stall at 5:30 this morning.

Tango · #**435** 03/27/14, 05:53 AM

Hey now, I am also waiting but my girls are only 4 weeks

all your girls will go before mine

MirandaT · #**436** 03/27/14, 07:19 AM

I've become a bitter old wretch waiting for these girls lol. Heading out to check now

MirandaT · #**437** 03/27/14, 07:36 AM

Who remembers that pound puppies commercial..
Surprise, surprise, puppy surprise....how many puppies are hiding inside.

I looked at trouble and that song popped in my head.lol

MirandaT · #**438** 03/27/14, 07:37 AM

Oh..and still no babies.
I walked into the stall and it was all dark, I seen this little brown thing laying next to her and my heart jumped!!! Turns out it was a chicken cuddling her back end

Its day 150. Somebody needs to get the flippin memo

GoldenWood Farm · #**439** 03/27/14, 09:09 AM

Nothing on my end either Miranda. I was bad and I did one 2am check and I fell back asleep before I remembered to set my alarm again for 4am so I just woke up at 7am and still nothing

.

These girls all need a talking to right now...
