Question Bred or Not

I don't know if you all can tell if she is bred or not but thought I would ask.
Heck still got lots to learn.

Thanks

I sure hope she's bred. I'm a noob too and my (hopefully) bred doe has had a swollen pointy thing (I think that's the correct anatomical term ) since she was mated. Your doe has one too.

I vote "bred" as well!

We hope she is bred. This would be her first time an plus it would help us start a new herd instead of being all mixed breeds.

If she doesn't come back into heat each 18-21 days than consider her bred.

RT, it's not the "swollen pointy thing" so much as the elongation between the hoo hoo and the pooper.

How was that for anatomically correct?

OooooOOOOooooooh. I see. So, question for ya': My goat should be just over 6 weeks pregnant and she's always thrown quads. Before it was just the pointy thing being swollen, but now she's losing her hiney wrinkles around her... stuff back there. Should that be happening already? Assuming she took of course. She also seems mellower...

She's my only milker (my other doe wasn't big enough to breed yet) I really, really need her milk.

...weeping. Thanks for that.

I heard if the "meaty" bald part of the tail is puffy, that means bred.
Not so sure how true.
