First Freshener Question

Greta isn't due until Feb. 23, but last night when I brought her in to feed her, I checked her ligaments and couldn't find them. Her mama, Mermaid, is due on the 21st. Her ligaments are thinning, but I can still feel them.

Should I be worried that Greta might kid early? It's so cold right now, and isn't going to warm up for several days yet.

I remember someone posting that they had a goat that seemed to lose and regain her ligaments a couple of times before kidding.

I had a goat recently that kept losing and regaining her ligaments for weeks before she was ready. I would suggest just keeping a good eye on her cause ya never know.
