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

You are right about LaManchas and going early. I figure due dates from day 145, not 150. Last year I had a 142 and 148, so a perfect 145 average. I also find that they don't seem to get as large as other breeds when pregnant. A bred Boer is the size of a house, whereas a LM is like the size of the shed in the backyard.

I just counted the days on the calandar and today is day 138 for Sara and day 135 for Daisy. Ugh, I don't think we are ever going to get there! For some reason I was thinking today was day 140. I know that's only 2 days difference but by golly 130's and 140's seem so far apart!

Daisy - 4/2/12

Sara - 4/2/12

And here is a terrible picture of Sara but it does show how wide she is. I was standing above her so that's why her head looks so big. LOL I also noticed that Toot (she's the one on the left with her backside showing) is developing a pretty nice udder too. However I don't think she was bred until Dec 9 so she is a few weeks behind Sara and Daisy still.

Oh, I forgot that I took these top view pics. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even think Daisy is pregnant. I know for sure that she is though. I'm actually pretty nervous that she will only have 1 kid. Hopefully it will be small atleast. And the lines on Sara are from when I clipped her last week, oops! She is getting wider and wider by the day. My luck she will have triplets and they will be tangled up. Nothing is ever easy for me...

What cuties! Good luck! Here's hoping for non-tangles triplets, and not too big babies!

Well, Daisy has been laying around all day and not gone to the field. She has definately dropped too! I went out there and thought, holy cow I must be starving her! However I know I'm not. We went out to eat and are waiting for hubby to come out of Lowe's before heading home. Hopefully I'll have another update later. Sara is chugging along too. Today's day 145 for Sara and 142 for Daisy.

Their udders are really filling up nicely and the clip job is looking pretty good. They are definitely looking good!

 

[fanov8]

So will someone please tell me if they can see the difference in Daisy's udder? You can call me crazy if you don't see it, but I swear it looks bigger. Maybe more full is the word. The first picture was taken at 1:30 this afternoon and the second was taken at 6:30 this evening, 5 hours later. Both girls are in their kidding stalls and not super happy about it. I think I'm certain that I know when they will both kid. It will be Thursday because that's when my youngest has a field trip. I'm certain that will be the day, while we are gone.

 

[Holachicka]

Not Crazy!! I can see it!!

 

[fanov8]

Well I think today is Sara's day! Of course because I'm supposed to be on my daughters field trip. She had amber goo last night and was restless all night. Now she is up and down and just making all kinds of noises. We will see...

I think today should be a "Honey, how about you stay home from the field trip and watch mommy help deliver goat babies?" day.

Yeah, she's definitely going to pop today.

Or maybe the class should reroute the field trip to your barn
