Not camera shy!

Not camera shy! - Goats


This is Granny Grunt - expecting babies any day now. How does she know she's on camera? I took this pic on the security monitor from in the house. She looks at me as if to say - come get these kids OUT! We've got her stalled because she's so huge - I'm afraid she'll get a butt in her very oversized belly. She's gotten very affectionate, does alot of star gazing, yawning, off her feed (except for hay) for a couple of days, got some goo, and spends much of her time lying down. I don't have her due until the 25th, but I'm hoping her date was written down wrong. Her ligaments are really loose and she's got a nice sized bag. I don't think I can wait another week!

What day would the 25th be? Most doe's can go I think it is 145 - 155 days. Where is Granny Grunt's date in there? Maybe it's sooner than you think & she's making sure your watching!

The 25th would be day 149 - if that's the correct due date. I'm thinking my DH got 2 does confused with their breeding dates and that she's due sooner vs later. We sold the other doe and she was due on the 14th - hasn't delivered yet. That's my hope, wish, dream, etc!
