    Also, I did some calculations based off the information I got from the lady that I bought the goats from. My doelings birthday is Dec 18, 2020. So...hoping she didn't get pregnant before 5 or 6 months, that will put her a kidding in November or Dec.

    Right I know you are guessing.. but I like your guess. Some people think she is just fat. I am clueless. This would be her first kid. I surely don't know so I guess we will wait and see.

    Utters... I am utterly confused

    I was not trying to breed her at all. She had to have gotten pregnant before I got her. I surely would not have bred her this young. I heard about blood tests and such. I only have 1 other goat and he is a wether and her half brother. I have not noticed any heat cycles since I got her. Once my...
