Too funny! This has been quite a learning experience that just keeps going and going.

Thank you all! I will keep you posted. Her legs are fine and she is acting normal. Ready to keep progressing! :)

She seems to be doing fine and laying down now on her bench. I just let her out of her pen about 30 minutes ago. I was a little concerned this morning. It looked like it was hard for her to get up and walk on front legs. I gave her some NutriDrench and I cannot find my tums. I just bought some...

I set alarm clock every hour to check the camera last night. Dotti does this thing with her tail, could be mild contractions. Maybe dialating. Her udder feels alittle bigger this morning, fills like two warm pints of milk. Labor has not started yet, but I am hopeful, todays the day. No pushing...

I do not mind the pulling so much, it’s the going in that scares me. I have already violated this goat so much. I’m always feeling her up, foddleing her udder, peeking at her vulva and sniffing her goo. Lol and I stalk her on camera. I do not have a vet personally, but I know where one is. They...

Great information! I really hope I don’t need to do that. I have my bag ready. She was doing this weird thing with her tail just a bit ago. I was watching her on camera and every so often she would slowly curl it all the way up on her back. After watching her for a while I went out there and she...

I really like the “She shouldn’t have any trouble” part. I got scared earlier and I am so sorry. This can be so overwhelming or I’m just so exhausted from the whole process. Lol. She ate and is laying back down. I put her in her pen. Maybe this is the start of early labor. Maybe I have less then...

Here it is so we can be clear about what I'm talking about.

No its yellow. She got up from laying down about an hour or so. Not straining or pushing. She is talking some, which is weird for her and now is eating hay.

I am really starting to get very scared, I think we may be getting serious here.

ok, we have something new now. Not sure if I should post it. It looks like streaming Discharge, but it is not amber like i've read. All the other discharge has been a teaspoon to maybe two tablespoons. This is about 3 inches so far, maybe longer but it is yellow and the most I have seen in the...

She does not look very big standing up, maybe because she is long bodied. When she lays down she is huge and her belly did look like an alien moving everywhere. Movement has slowed down and can ever slightly feel a foot or head move. She is having a hard time jumping up to her bench. Hers is...

That is exactly where we are on the ligaments. They come and go and come and go. Only one comes back and mushy. The other is gone always. Sometimes it takes me a few minutes to find the mushy one. I am just gonna watch her udder or wait till I see the bubble.

Thanks for checking in. No kids yet. I have the bucks separated and the first few days, they all hung out at the fence. It was heartbreaking. The next two nights I got to bring the bucks in to the goat house and put their aprons back on, freezing temps down in low 20's. The goat house has the...

Thank you everyone! This is all great information and a lot of information taken in. I would like to say that there is a difference between not being knowledgeable and being irresponsible. I want to be a good goat mama, so that is why I had the Buck Aprons made. Googling, you will find it seems...

The lady I got her from said she was a Boer. As some time went by and compared to my other goats, she just looked a little different in the head/face area. When I posted on FB, everyone came back and said she looked like a Boer with Nubian in her. Again, I’m just going off what everyone else...

Duly noted, I have a separate large area.

Too funny! I have heard of the fainting goats, but never seen one. My goats have a big pen and at night they get locked in the goat house because when the coyotes would start howling, my little mischievous goats would run right up to the fence. I would wonder what the heck they were doing. So I...

Thank you, great advice. She comes in heat about every three weeks so she has not been bred. Read a lot of reviews about the buck aprons and they seem to work all these months. Do not really know why we have two bucks so that might be something the family needs to talk about. We’re not breeders...
