This is what we do, only with sunbutter instead of probios because the goats adore sunbutter and once they smell it, they'll open their mouths :). I had also bookmarked this website on putting copasure in a marshmallow, if your goats like marshmallows (with pictures, yet!):

You know, I've looked at the map linked before for my county, but never noticed that you could look at each county's samples individually to get closer to your own house. The county I live in ranges from 0.3 to 0.6, so finding the couple of samples closest to me was useful. Thanks!

She's so cute . . . "I found my happy place!".

So Sarabi is now day 153 with a firm breeding date. She might have slightly softer ligaments, or I might be wishful thinking. Other than that, no change. Selkie is at day 143 today, had a little yellowish (not amber though) discharge this morning and definitely has softening ligaments. They...

Congratulations! She made your job easier there :).

"Boxer" is a great name!

Awww, whatever little Mr. X is, he's a sweetie!

Ooo boy, discharge! (The things I never thought I'd type . . . ) :pop

Oh, nice! I'm a softie for that coloration pattern of your buck - don't know what it's called, but when they have black on top and under as if they were outlined :). It'll be fun to see what the girls throw!

:lol: I figured the temps in the teens overnight would be sufficient unto the "Doe Code", but I'm starting to get the sore throat that was the onset of the flu my children all had, so perhaps that's what she's waiting on - the flu to set in :barnie

So much for the advice I keep reading, "Nigerians usually go early" :rolleyes: On day 150 ligaments firm, no udder boom, no discharge, she's playing headbutt fights with Selkie . . . sighhhhhh. She was witnessed being bred by the buck owner, who is an experienced goat owner and has a bigger...

Fifth of an acre here, house smack dab in the center, front unusable for goats as it is entirely planted in rhododendrons. We have two Nigerians back there and that's where our population will stay, other than babies who are sold when able. Our barnlet is 10 X 14 and the fenced area for them is...

Ohhh, I'm an idiot . . . actually I'm sleep deprived from all the barn checks on someone who is day 149 and holding out for next Christmas. I just watched Dusty's delivery and thought it was live (blush).

Congratulations for round two! We just watched that birth - adorable! I'm posting while you're determining gender :D

:love That picture of the twin girls is soooo adorable.

Isn't that so fun? That's when it started to get exciting for me - little udders!

They're adorable, :welcome

Ahhh, my stream cut out too. Congratulations on those adorable goats, and that's a neat naming strategy . . . hmmmm . . .

Oooo, barn cam!!!! :pop :caf Color me jealous! I was so thrilled last night to have the brand new baby monitor, and the fresh batteries in the "nursery" unit in the barn ran out 3 hours after I turned it on! Gahhhhh. Day 148 and all she is is grouchy. I'm gonna watch YOUR goat! Much more...

Also take a shot from standing above her looking down - so when you're going, "Is that a baby bulge or just breakfast?" you'll have a "before" shot to look at :D
