O great oreo might be a month from kidding

Ive been so busy with Dolly waiting on babies i had not been pay much attention to Oreo. Ive been noticing an utter for about 2 weeks know. So i reached under her and felt her utter she has a utter its about the size of my hand cupped. She so hairy i did not know she had that big an utter. From my guessing she should have babies end of July. So i gave the former owners a call told them what i noticed. found out 6 or her yearling from the same pen are bagging up. She thinks a buck must have gotten in at some time. Bad thing it could have been her Lamauncha or her pygmy She does not think it was her Nigerian. She said her lamuncha is small so shes not to worried but just to watch Oreo and maybe have my goat friend be there just in case. So i guess i will need to start lig checking Oreo to. Im prying it was the pygmy buck. Oreo is tiny maybe 17 inches tall. I guess i get no break. Im going to have solid white hair by June lol. O she is a Nigerian/ Pygmy cross.

Keeping my fingers crossed for You & Oreo! Hopefully you'll still have some hair left by the time she kids but I would be on pin's & needles too! Sure hope it was the pygmy buck that got her too!

Its hard to believe she does not know which buck broke over. I think it was the big buck and she does not want to tell me. Im always thinking about the negative things so maybe im wrong. I guess i need to get her shaved and ready. Her ligs are soft but not gone hopefully shes not due sooner. Since she a FF im guessing things will happen slowly.
