Well, if she's not in labor, you need to change her name to Drama Queen.

Drama Queen Daisy it is Yup, I am just going to quit watching her (hope she heard that). I took some new backside pics today, I'll post them in the morning. Daisy's udder is not going to be as big as Sara's but it definetely tighter than Sara's is already. If I just saw pics of her udder and not the way she is acting I would know for sure she isn't due until 4/17. But gosh darn it she is driving me Bonkers!

I have heard that LaMancha's tend to go on day 143-145 vs 150. Has this been true for anyone else? I know it all depends on the goat. I'm grasping here guys!

I heard the same thing. However, I've had 3 go so far. 146, 150, and 151, so. . . .

Yeah, probably just wishful thinking then.

Well, I went and picked up a new buckling today. That puts me at 2 now, Beau who is almost 11 months old. And my new guy who is 1 day old, LOL. I really didn't want another buck but I really couldn't turn this guy down.

Anyhow, nothing new on the home front with the girls. Daisy acts as though the past week never existed. Here are the pics I took yesterday. I know Daisy's udder is smaller than Sara's but it just seems more developed if that makes sense. Daisy is also a good bit smaller than Sara is. Does anyone else agree that Daisy looks like she could go first? Or is that just first timer crazy talk?

Daisy - 3/27/12

Sara - 3/27/12

They are in cahoots with Lily!!

All things being equal, I think they are both about the same. I would not lay odds on either one. BUT I like the udders on both of them, but with my big hands, I like Sara's teats best. Milkable, that's my motto.

You're probably right, I just don't want to admit that! I'm so ready to see these babies that it's driving me nuts! I guess what makes it harder is that Daisy is one my 1st goats that we got last year. We raised them on the bottle and now they are ready to have their own babies! And I agree, Sara's teats are much bigger, I have high hopes for her

I'm going to start another thread with new pics of my new buckling that I picked up yesterday if anyone wants to see him

So funny! You are going through exactly the same thing! You'd think that they would cut us some slack for being first timers!
Bernice would curl her lip, pant, get very vocal along with other tell tale signs around March 10th for about a week. I just KNEW she would kid soon. Nope. So I just assumed that April 4th was the day to plan around.
Last night I checked on her and she had bagged up a bit but showed no other signs. I went to bed, planning to sleep in today. HA!
What a nice way to wake up though!

I will be following this thread! I am so excited for you!. Your heart is going to melt when you see them!

 

[Jenni]

Any progress? I'm feeling your pain!

No. These girls are killing me! The way Daisy was acting for that week I just knew she was going to kid. But, of course not. Now she has been acting like her normal self. Today is day 140 for Sara and 137 for Daisy. So I know we are finally getting close. I'll have to take some new pics later.
