:thumbsup That's great news!

The weather is about to change and a full moon is coming (on 2/7). The temps have been in the upper 60s and lower 70s for the past 3-4 days. Temps are due to drop into the 50s for highs and 30s for lows tomorrow. It's hard to believe my little Flo and Pee Dee will be a year old on 2/7.

When you realize you have more pictures of your pregnant goats than pictures you have of yourself pregnant.

That is a HUGE kid! :ep Have you weighed him?

We're Firefox folk.

If she were mine, I wouldn't. I would wait until she was at least 75-80 pounds and/or 18 months old, especially since you said she's always been small. Then, when you do breed her, I would use a small buck for her first kidding.

Not much change today - just a lot of laying around grunting, getting up to pee, then laying back down. Drama Mama did have a tiny bit of discharge today. Maybe the mucous plug?

Ours love those spools, also. We had to finally replace one that was starting to rot and it was like taking away a friend. Don't worry about your journal - I've been posting on me and I haven't had a comment in a while.

Bunny today, 1/30 Compare to 1/24 Drama Mama today, 1/30 Compare to 1/24

I have to do that as well. I still check ligaments, but I have a doe you can feel ligs on 1 day, then they disappear, and then come back.

We don't cut, either, even if it is a little long. We dip them in betadine and let it dry up.

Top bar for us. :) http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1302336367603.2040116.1506278501&type=3&l=1096207af8

Bunny and Drama Mama are in the kidding pen. Both are building udders and I *think* Bunny's ligs are gone. I'll check them again in the morning. I have had them disappear and then reappear at the next check. Just as a reminder: Bunny due 2/5, DM due 2/12 or there-abouts.

I've entered Midas, our BO roo, into a "Who Guards YOUR Girls" Contest. If you would, click on Entry 47 and "like" the picture. If he wins, we'll get a NightGuard Predator Light as a prize! Thank you!

I gave the does a dose of CMPK today and that stuff must be really, really bad tasting. They shook their heads, ground their teeth, and tried to wipe it out of their mouths on their front legs. I had to check to see if they were choking, but they weren't. Must be some tough stuff.

Sorry to hear about the one, but thank goodness you were able to save one for the efforts you made. Congrats!!! You know we need pictures. :D

"I'm in love with an Alpine..." ;) I saw an Alpine in the Sundgau color and I LOVE it!!!! The color looks striking in pictures, but in person - shazam!

:weee

Gosh. I would be about to pee my pants wanting to see them if I were you. :)

Check out these links for pictures. I know pictures/videos helped me "see" what labor looks like in goats rather than just reading about it. http://fiascofarm.com/galleries/Goat_Care_and_Information/Birth_Related_Photos/index.html...
