Poor Cubby...

Bless her heart, it's 111 here today and she's so big and hot She's due in 2 days. We have a cold front coming through this evening/tonight and I'm hoping that will send her into labor! I had all 3 of my kids in August so I for sure feel her pain and I could kick Rock for breaking into her pen and knocking her up lol

Cubby a few weeks ago....

Poor Baby! What a load to be carrying around in this heat! She is huge & her udder looks like it's going to pop along with her sides any day now! Hope she goes in the next day or so while it's a little cooler.

That poor thing!!! I went through summer pregnant once. Don't want to do that again, but at least I had A/C at the time!! You can freeze 2 liter bottles of water and keep them in her water bucket. That may help. Hope she kids soon and uneventfully!

Cassie had bucklings quints?! I just did a search and that's all I came up with lol

I'm predicting triplets, 2 bucklings and a doeling. Cubby has always been the fattest of my goats for sure.

I had a dream the other night that she had 6; 2 really big ones and 4 itty bitty ones. Lord, he'p her!

All I can say is owwwwww. I feel for her. I bet she'll feel so relieved to get rid of that or maybe I should say those.
There has to be more than 1 as big as she is.

DH just told me that she should go soon because she was laying there breathing heavy. I said she's been doing that for 2 weeks because of the heat!

One of my Boers is due in 4 more days - she is also absolutely miserable. We have been in the triple digits more than we haven't here. I think she is planning on how she is going to kill me for all of this.

I just showed my bf the picture and I asked "Do you think she is bred?" (We play that game here daily with our girls) and he said "Ummm... Yeah with four."
