Is she pregnant?

Pardon the mess, there was an attack on the newly reintroduced alfalfa pellets!

I'm guessing YES.

Looks like it to me!

I certainly hope so!

Probably, but you can't tell by the belly. I've seen goats that look like that regardless.

How old?

Whoa! What a big girl! Wonder how many babies she's hiding in there! When's her due date?

Just a guess here; I'm gonna say "yes". So, do *you* know???

The difference between the look of the sides makes me say preggos. The rumen is on left and that looks normal.The babies would be on the right and that looks totally different. If it were all rumen I would think it would look more symmetrical. Or smaller on the right. But what do I know LOL!!

It's a Carla daughter and yeah, she usually looks pretty big even when not pregnant. She's only ever had twins and that's really what I expect this time. I've felt babies moving around, so I was posting a bit tongue in cheek. Every year I say she MUST be going to have triplets at least. But she never does.

My buck apparently manufactured a transporter this year and escaped many times. I spent nearly all my free time this fall fixing fence only to go out and find him in general population the next morning. I watched him climb straight over a six foot fence.

I have no idea when anyone is due. I'm usually accurate to within a couple of days and this is really making it hard. I'm stuck with closely monitoring everyone. I don't even usually have kids until March or April. I've already had one deliver and I'm pretty sure this one should go relatively soon. Or not... GAH - it's crazy-making!

LOL... I had no doubt that, that was a pregnant belly pic (I too have posted the same sort of post.. picture from the rear of Shirley.. HUGE with triplets.. so big she couldn't breath and could barely waddle LOL and ask if she looked pregnant ).. Carla ALWAYS looks pregnant.. everyone who comes to the farm.. first thing they ask.. "when is SHE due???" most times it will be during the summer/early fall...so I have to explain.. Healthy rumen to them LOL.. Carla twins every year.. it's always been either twin does or twin bucks.. she never has given me one of each... last spring was a set of really nice spotted boys.. I'm hoping for girls this year.

Let us know what she has...
