Separated Dazzle from the herd today and she isn't happy. Calling for them all night and part of today. Silly goat she is right next pen from them! She can still touch noses with the others! :lol:

Is she showing signs of labour approaching very soon? I don't have goats, but with our sheep...we don't close them in a lambing stall until it looks very close and they aren't upset to be separated.

Hoping for healthy kids for you!

I would wait a few days to seperate them. The stress will outweigh the benefit- In my opinion of course.

Your goats are beautiful! I like Jewel the best.

BTW, I grew up in Phoenix and my aunt has a horse farm in Paradise Valley. I know exactly where you are at! Makes me miss home a little bit. But the "home" I remember doesn't exist anymore. Urban sprawl has taken over.

Dazzle isn't fully seperated from the herd. She can still touch them and nuzzle them through the fence. She is doing a lot better now.

Dazzle is looking good and eating good. If she is on time 6 days to go. Tendons does seem to be loosening and her bag is getting bigger.

I love it when it rains in the spring in the desert. You see things bloom that only come out every few years.

Dazzle's bag is getting tighter and she is waddling around happily. Looks like she may go right on time! Friday the 1st is the due date.
