Fanov8's kidding thread! (close ups) - Sara day153 Pg 6 post 60

[fanov8]

Hee hee hee! We finally get to start our own kidding thread! I have been waiting so long to do this! And I know that we still have a month left but I think I have waited long enough! You guys have been great along the way with all your help. I have 5 girls due between now and June. First two due to kid are Daisy and Sara.

Daisy is a FF and was bred on 10/20 and possibly again on 11/20. So I'm not sure if she is really due on 3/18 or 4/18. Looking at her now I'm almost certain that she is due 4/18. Agree or disagree?

This is from 2/7:

And today 3/9:

Sara is also a FF and was bred on 11/17. So she is due 4/15.

Those girls have some nice looking little udders. Really milkable looking teats. I love the picture of Sara squshed out on the ground. It made me laugh.

Thanks! LOL, she always makes me laugh about something. She lays on the ground and just grunts. Then she sighs, then she knickers at me. It's so funny! She even "talks" to me as she is falling asleep!

I clipped the girls today to make things a bit neater. I could tell you that my 5 year old is the one that clipped them, then you would understand why they look so bad. But then again that would be a lie

Daisy really seems to be filling out and she had some gooey stuff on her hoo hoo today and it's pretty swollen. I'm still wondering if she is going to be due on Mach 17 or April 17. Anyone want to guess? I also felt the babies moving and kicking today on both girls.

Daisy today (3/13)

I think that she's due March 17, but I'm a newbie so I don't know much

How in the world did you managed (or rather your kid) to make such a elegant and even cut???
Are your goats standing still for grooming like that?
I cannot even stand and look on my goat behinds for too long, because they getting suspicious and moving away.
When I want to touch their bellies, they jump sideway/up ~LOL~

Well...any how; Big congratulations on your own Kidding Thread and I wish you the best happy kidding!

My guess/prediction is April 17th only because her udder hasn't filled out much. Of course, she may do that all in a day or so!
X2 on the cut!

LOL, these girls were both bottle babies so they really don't care what I do to them. Plus they were on the milkstand getting there evening meal so they didn't care what was going on!

I feel a bit better now, atleast you guys don't think that I butchered them too badly. It doesn't look near as nice in person, but it's going to serve it's purpose.

I might be crazy but it seems as though Daisy has filled a little more just today. I dunno. Gonna have to keep a close eye on her the next few days.

Thought I would go ahead an post new pics. I just took these this morning. They are definately getting bigger! Daisy's first due date has come and gone so I'm going with the April due date now. That makes Sara due on April 15 and Daisy on April 18!

Daisy - 3/19/12

Sara - 3/19/12

So Daisy scared the crap outta me this morning when she decided to cry WOLF! First let me explain that my husband works out of state and only gets to come home on the weekends and we have no family here. I have 3 really good friends that live pretty close that can help me in an emergency but it's mostly just myself and our 5 year old and 7 year old. So, every morning I look out my bedroom window to see if the goats are up yet. Usually they don't "climb out of bed" until around 7:30. At 7:35 I looked out the window and there stood Daisy, by herself. I looked closer and her back side was hunched up and it looked like she was pushing! Of course I went into panic mode, kids have to be a school at 8 and Daisy is kidding! OH MY GOSH! So I opened my bedroom window and yelled Daisy's name. She looked up at me and yelled like she was dying. Holy cow! I yell at the kids to hurry and brush their teeth. I grabbed my phone and my flip flops and flew out the door. I get to the gate and she still hasn't moved. Then all of a sudden it was like she snapped out of it and walked over to the gate. I went in and checked her out. Ligs are still there and her udder looks the same as yesterday. At this point I'm beginning to think that the little hussy is just trying to see how fast I can move. I stayed out there for about 10 minutes and then ran the kids to school. Got back home in record time and bring Daisy into the building. She proceeds to jump on the milking stand and demands her breakfast. And she gobbles it down. I'm so going to choke that girl before the day finally comes. My little heart can't handle many more days like that!

This did however encourage me to finally put all the kidding kit in a box and ready to go. I had everything, just not in one place yet. I get it Daisy, it's done now.

yes I think they want our hearts to skip a beat good luck with her.
