Big Belly Girls :)

Some of my preggy ladies (some aren't really showing yet, but they wanted to be here anyway )
In order of due dates:

First Peachy, Nigerian, 2nd freshening, due 2/15 (maybe I'll get Valentine babies!):

Big Belly Girls :) - Goats

Rear View
Big Belly Girls :) - Goats

Fawn, Alpine, 2nd freshening, live-cover bred alpine due 2/24 to Redwood Hills Revolution Speed (I hope there is more than 1!! She's not real big, but hides babies very well...she is a loooonnnggg bodied girl).
Big Belly Girls :) - Goats

Galaxy, Alpine, 2nd freshening, bred to ND for mini's, due 3/16, OMG she is already a WHALE! ("Does this make my butt look big?)
Big Belly Girls :) - Goats

Moose, Alpine, 1st real freshening (she absorbed first pregnancy), due 3/18, bred Nigerian for minis, not showing much...hopefully more than one! (And I just love this pic too, 'cus Peachy is there, and Blackberry thought it'd be fun to get right in the camera and say hi-she's not preg, so no preggy picy's of her)
Big Belly Girls :) - Goats

Lulu, Nigerian, bred to mini alpine buck, 4th freshening, has had single, quads, single...hopefully quads again to make smaller babies, lol. Due 3/29, so not much to see yet
Big Belly Girls :) - Goats

Wapiti, Alpine, confirmed AI to Dill's Nigerian for mini's, 2nd freshening, due April 4, so not showing much yet, though she does seem to have a tiny bit of something showing already.
Big Belly Girls :) - Goats

I also have just a few days ago AI'd a doe for more minis and I have all the yearling ff who are not in the main doe pen yet, so I didn't chase butts for pictures on them.

Oh, and don't mind the carcass hanging on the other side of the fence...my father-in-law thought that would be a great spot to butcher a calf...sigh.

Oh, that's weird...it shows up sometimes, other times it shows the pics the way I edited them with cropping that dang thing out.

WE see the cropped pictures (no calf carcasses hanging about). YOU, however, sometimes see the original pic, as you browser has saved it in a cookie. Delete your history and cache, and you will only see the cropped pictures as well. (Had this happen to me as well. Spent 2 hours one time trying to get a post to only show the cropped pictures to me... finally had someone tell me to clear my history and cache, and viola! There they had been the entire time!)

That being said, I think Galaxy is going to give you quads.

It will be interesting to see what I get anyway. I think Gal just has a big belly anyway. It would be fun to get some triplets this year...I've only had singles, twins, and quads so far. Weird goats.

LOL KSAL! Actually, they were quite scared...they did not want to be in the same building with it, and the darn thing was hanging right where I normally milk. Ah well, it is gone now at least.

That is funny, it kind of does! Moose is a BIG, wide bodied doe. It will be fun to see what she has. She is such a sweet, sweet doe, too.

I'll have to take pictures closer to kidding on some of these gals and see how they progress! Also, Fawn has just started to get a little bump...there is hope yet for her to have multiples.

Fawn's belly from today...getting a lil bigger. She has about a month and half, so plenty of time to grow some more baby belly.

At first glance at the last picture, I though her coat had slid onto her head!

SPIKE

LOL! When I first looked at that picture, I thought, oh no, decapitated goat picture! But it was the best I could get of her belly.
