Now is the kidding season for the goats that ran-free with a buck. AND for the does that the buck escaped and he had-his-way with them, then it is now time. ( I know this!)

Watch for the bag to become tight and shiny. If she has mucus it could be just hours away. Suzie had mucus and her bag filled to explode all within three hours of kidding.

Welcome back. Best to you and your goats.
