I just forced my roommates to look at 26 so they will know how excited I am....they didn't get it.
I cant wait!

Oh man, only 2, and I think that's it so far, and they're not that big. She has a huge water balloon placenta looking thing hanging out of her now. I don't know about goats, can they pass placenta between kids? Or maybe it was a kid that didn't quite form. Maybe there still is another lurking in there?

Going back out...

Well I do believe she is done at only 2. :/ What a huge disappointment! But not really, because we have enough goats. I just was sure she would have more, I know you guys did too. But she passed a huge placenta, the size of a horses! I suspect she may have had a third that never got out of the starting gate.

So, that's it. The saga that was #26 is over. One is a boy, I think the other is a girl. One has very light coloring and the other is almost black. Cute!

In the meantime, on the sheep front...things are escalating with the ewes. Little udders and bellies are popping up everywhere. The strangest thing is Cinnamon, one of our flighty Shetlands, has been coming up to me all lovey dovey, and Tim said she was with HIM, too! Which is highly unusual. Her belly is getting pretty big now. But it's hard to tell what's going on down under because she has a lot of wool. The Suffolk ewe Clementine gets bigger everyday. Her udder is pretty huge now too. The Tunis is fat as a cow and is starting to get udders now. Star, one of the Jacobs, is getting an udder. Only a couple of the Finn sheep look like they are getting bellies. But soon, lambs will be popping out!

It's the hormones .....my 3 adult Shetlands are pretty shy until about a month before lambing and then suddenly they won't leave you alone. When one of them was in labor last year, she came over, lay down next to me and put her head in my lap. And that was the most flighty one of all!
