Is there a way to tell if my goats are pregnant?

Woohooo, that means that at least one of the two does we thought were bred already were, don't know about the other one I'll look tomorrow. Thanks moosemaniac.

Good then I will stick to calling it being in heat. I was corrected by someone before who said that was what you called cats, not livestock. I hope I didn't offend anyone. Honestly didn't mean to.

I will try that pooch test on one doe who I think was bred a couple of months ago. I thought it was weird that he was being really friendly with her since she was going to have babies. lol, I guess I was wrong.

Well Shannon I heard that since a pregnant goats urine smells like one that is in heat the bucks will be friendly with them, that is what is happening with one of our does. They sure are weird, you would think that they do not know if they did the job or not and are trying to make sure. Well Bye for now.

Ok it all looked the same to me but one looked a LITTLE diff but I just couldn't tell??

How far along do does have to be before you can get a good indication from the the bounce test?

Moonspiner, I do not know for sure, I just know that the baby has to be developed enough so that you can actually feel the hard lump, which is the baby. However I would say 2.5-3 months would be about right. Hope it works for ya, it has with us so far, however it does not indicate how far along he doe is, so it kinda makes ya anxous for the baby to come out, but the bigger the baby the sooner. Well bye.
