I put the buck in with the girls in January and February. He left to a friends in March.
It looks like all 4 girls are gonna have kids!:celebrate

Everyone has udders developing. Over their hips has thinned out even though they all eat like pigs and have been dewormed.

This is my herd matriarch Valentine. She had trips her first two kiddings and raised them all on her own.

Last is Thistle. She is taller than her sisters and from pictures doesn't look like much. But she has a nice udder building in all that black hair.

So now the time gets short. I have only one kidding stall 100% done. Have to think about how to make 3 more as I really only planned out 3 areas. Maybe I will get lucky and only need 2 at a time? :barnie But from following all these other kidding threads they will all torment me on one day!

Oh wow, your goats are so pretty! Good luck with all the kidding. I have 5 due, 3 were supposed to be in May, but I think that ship has sailed. The other date the lady gave me was June, I can't see these does going til June. One of them she told me was due in June, kidded last Monday! 2 totally lost their ligaments a couple weeks ago and are all puffy in their female parts, but no babies yet. Maybe we will be having babies at the same time! LOL!
