7 positives, 4 maybes.....

I tested 11 goats last night with my Renco ultrasound. I got 7 positives (I was already sure about 2 of those, but I was having fun), and 4 that I'm not sure yet about. I have three more to test, but it won't work until 30 days after conception. Babies start arriving around 2/21!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!

Ruth that is the coolest gizmo! Thanks for sharing the link!

Can you tell if your does are going to have multiples? Or just that they are pregnant (not that that isn't enough!)?

All you get is a steady beep if they're pregnant or an intermittent beep if not. But it's nice to know they've settled without having to send out blood for testing, then waiting, waiting, waiting...
