Not sure if she is done but she is taking a nap. Pups are a fed and sleeping too. Think I might join them.

Baby #7 is a pudgy brindled girl with white trim. :) Gave Olive two soup bowls of water and a tiny snack. She wanted it badly. Back to pushing. :)

Louie is 3/4 Anatolian Shepherd 1/4 Great Pyrenees. The brindle doesn't seem to be as common in the Tolis as traditional really not too rare though. He is the best. So so good with newborn kids. Right now, he is laying on the other side of the wall like a daddy in a waiting room.

6! 2 girls (brindled) 4 boys ( 1 white 3 brindled ) Olive is doing great! Seems to be taking a little break to let pups nurse.

5 now...first one was at 8 and it's 10:50 now.

I went to get coffee and potty...2 out!!! She says DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN!

No pups yet. Temp has dropped to 98.8. I took her out for a bit this morning to go potty and walk a little. She started back to the barn before too long though. As my first litter, I am anxious and just trying to read her. After years of goats, I am sure when she gets serious, I will know...

Ten teats are available so I hope no more than that! :fl

Temp has dropped from 100.3 to 99.4. Teats and breasts are full. Olive put herself in the nursery today and won't leave and keeps digging nests. Could be wrong, but she may be getting close to labor. I added bedding, covered the windows to give her privacy, turned of barn lights to shush up...

Definitely do not get the mini-tip. We did and in order to get the job done had to do multiple burns. After a few years, we just bit it and bought the bigger size. I don't have a buck tip and instead just do the figure 8 burn on boys. We burn as soon as we can feel the perimeter of the...

Jeez, I would be asking for a freebie on that one. Not even the same thing, bacteria and parasites. Maybe you could be come a vet tech and teach them ;) I have a manual, microscope, and what not and do my own but and not very skilled yet. I have our vet do them for us still, and just check...

We have a lots of yotes up here in NW Indiana--they even attempt shopping trips for sale priced clothing. This was yesterday in our local Kohl's. We still have the ocassional coyote or fox come close the the house but not like they did before the LGDs.

I very much agree. For my house pets, I rescue young dogs or pups. But for my livestock care, I want to work with that dog as a pup and with my livestock, want to know that the parents were working dogs, and will not gamble on it working it. And while crossing actual LGD breeds can make for a...

Right, she scooted on over," Uh no. I am in labor and I will thwap you if you touch my rump again". Still looking to be awhile yet. Her udder is full.

Next week between Wednesday and Sunday, we should have pups unless-- I made a mistake but she is sure acting like and looking like we are right on schedule.

When you say bagging up, do you mean TIGHT, like no longer soft because it is full? That would not be normal and I would wonder about my due date. But as far as an udder developing, I have had both those that barely have an udder until they kid and some that start months beforehand, getting...

Olive made and remade her nest today. The hay was everywhere, completely pulled out and rearranged what clearly must be the right way--I guess I did it wrong :lol:. She had it stacked high diagonally across the center of the box and then made two whorls on either side of the center. She was...

How neat! Your goats want to know when they can expect a movie deal now. :frow
