How Many???

Well I have this doe that on Feb 13 she will be 150 days from when I put her with the Buck. This is her 4th pregnancy, and she has only given us singles, and she is usually rather large. This year she is a little bigger then before, so how many babies would you guess? OH, her eye is not red, that must have been the flash. She hates being touched or having her picture takedn, so these are not the best, she hides and squishes her side up against a wall or whatever she can.

Here she is front view,
How Many??? - Goats

Her rear view and part of her side.
How Many??? - Goats

I am just really excited. I am hoping she took to the buck I brought her too. My buck got in and I did the Lutalyce and I pray that she will have Georges babies. She was given us Beautiful babies that had Great fiber, so I am hoping I get the same this year.
All her babies have been over 10lbs.

Hmmm, I guess 2 this time. Do I win a prize if I'm right?

Her expression is like "Oh, here's that lady with the camera again. I'd really like to tell her... "

Cool

Oh WOW she is big. I would guess 3 but I maybe wrong. She could have you twins in there instead of 3. If she has twins maybe to big does for you.


Good Luck to you and the momma goat.

AllWolf, I sure pray that you are right. I would love to have triplets, and at leats two does. The lady that owns the buck want to buy a doe if I have a EXTRA. This doe has won LOTS of BEST DOE IN SHOW, because of her great fiber and the quanity.
Ozark Jewels, I give up also, that is why I asked you all.

Lori, I'm in for triplets. Lovely fleece on that doe! I have to say, tho, I have a Boer doe that has the hugest sides, and delivered her twins in December. She always looks like she is about to have triplets! Not that she eats too much, either. I think she's just 'stretched out' from previous pregnancies! At least that's what I claim for myself!
