I heard that and should have taken it to heart! My Lamancha was 6 days early. The only clue that she gave me was she bagged up a little the night before. (We were both first timers.) I woke up to my boys yelling "Bernice gave birth to twins!"AdoptAPitBull said: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.
Those tricksters!fanov8 said:Well, I promised my daughter I would go on the trip with her. We were only gone for about 4.5 hours. When I got home I found....
2 preggo does.
So she went at 144? Yeah, LMs can be sneaky. All of mine have waited till I was not hope or asleep to kid. One doe last year was textbook early labor. I waited, and waited, and waited all night till I had to go to work. Five hours later, I come home to kids. I swear, they hold them in like a fart in church.Imma Okie said:I heard that and should have taken it to heart! My Lamancha was 6 days early.

I can't wait to see pics.
Yes, the lil stinker. I knew the days that she bred, so her due date could have been March 13, or April 4th. Well when the first due date came and went, I knew that the first time didn't take. It was easy breezy for her! I don't mind at all that she didn't need me!AdoptAPitBull said:So she went at 144? Yeah, LMs can be sneaky. All of mine have waited till I was not hope or asleep to kid.

I wish I could tell you. 5 years ago I tech savvy....but today my kids laugh at me when I try to tinker with their stuff.fanov8 said:Anyone know te beat way to post a picture from my phone? I usually send it to photobucket and then get on the computer and copy the links. But I'm in the barn and don't want to go in. The gooey stuff from daisy is different now then 20 minutes ago. I got a good pic but don't know how to post. Wondering if it is just mucus plug or the real deal?!
I understand completely! Even though today is day 147 for Daisy and 150 for Sara I'm certain that they are going to cross their legs for another week just outta spite. I thought they loved me but now I'm thinking they hate me! Heck at this rate my next for to kid is due in 2 weeks and she may kid first! Brats I tell ya!Imma Okie said:I wish I could tell you. 5 years ago I tech savvy....but today my kids laugh at me when I try to tinker with their stuff.fanov8 said:Anyone know te beat way to post a picture from my phone?
