I don't suppose now is a good time to tell you the Clover looked almost exactly like that before kidding out 7 kids.

No. Actually I saw her breed for 3 days straight. I finally felt sorry for her and moved her away from the buck. She was bleeding. I thought of you aren't bred by now you never will be.

Yes. She always looks swollen back there.

She just mostly lays around now. She's pretty spry if she thinks I have grain though. She will be the first one to the door.

I'm watching her on the webcam right now munching down on the fresh hay I just put out.

Now, you said yourself in another thread that your handwriting is illegible. Are you certain you're not mis-reading the date? I hope for Nutmeg's sake that you are...the poor thing! I thought my girls were big!

My wife does the writing. I hope I come home one day to 4 healthy babies on the ground a couple weeks prior to when I think her due date is.

Looks like my little nigi last year that had 5. Could have been 6 as the stillborn 1 was easily 2x normal birth size.

For ones like this I do offer alfalfa pellets b/c I feel that they cannot eat all that they need when this big at this stage of the game. Good luck and have plenty of towels ready.

Oh wow. Hope you're feeding her a good grain ration - its probably fairly safe to say she's not going to have kid size problems, what with having a litter in there. :O Hope you wanted a herd of LM's! She was probably sick of being around all those darn droopy eared things.

She's in a kidding stall with Rayne. Her ligs are softening and I see the start of a bag. I had my wife check the paperwork and she is due Feb 20th. March 10th is the other Lamancha that I sold. Whew!!!!!
