Two girls are bagging up!
One of my Lamancha's and one of my BoerX are bagging up! Can't wait to see what we've got! They were bred to a handsome boer last fall!

Any tips from the more experienced here?

Get a pair of mittens NOW. And wear them to keep from tearing your hair out!

I had a doe present this morning with a string of mucous, and NOTHING (no kids) yet. I'm told they can "string you along" for a couple of days.

Hang in there!

They may bag up for a couple of weeks prior to delivery but if the bag gets tight and "shiney" then the time is near. Also, the vulva will get real loose and relaxed.

Congrats in advance

Yeah, but He was in there for two months...they didn't take the first time.

Unfortunately these will be his last. He died a month or so later...the owner said he'd gotten into some feed or something...she'll have a few from him hopefully as well, but that's it.

I will definitely post pics...these are our first kids!
