she had two last year and i don't expect more this time either. her dam always had a lot of water bubbles and looks like she inherited this trait too.
if you would not know, you would think she carry at least quads. yes she looks and acts very happy and singing a lot. i needed that this morning too. reminds me why i have them

OMG, she is beautiful. I agree how could she be so big and so happy, but she sure does look it. Thats what I love about nubians, they just seem to have that happy face on.

And I thought my does get huge !! I sneak up to the barn during the night now a few times and the does are all sleeping together ..snoring..seems so funny to watch them all under the heat lamp sleeping together with a lone chicken and the pet rabbit with them.

Holy GOAT! How in the world does she walk around?

That's the funniest picture I've seen in a while. Thanks for the giggle

Oh my stars! That is one lovely goat lady. I just thought my girls were fat but I believe she has them beat! Good luck to all. I say she'll have quads. My first doe to kidd this season had triplets and she was NOTHING of that size! Congratulations!
