My biggest fear with going in has always been "what if I tear something?" And probably always will be. Luckily that first time was the only pull I've had to do so far.:fl Knock on wood.

Now that I have long nails, I have to be extra careful. When I had dairy goats that usually kidded 2-4 and they would get tangled, I had short nails so no problem.

Too funny! This has been quite a learning experience that just keeps going and going.

Been there, done that. Gearing up to do it again in the spring. Sometimes I wonder if we are glutton for punishment until all turns out well and you appreciate it for the miracle that it is.

Here we go I think this time for real. I believe this is the pre-kidding stream. It is not like the gooey stuff she has had at various times this month and not the plug like two days ago. This looks like a clearish string or cord. So could we being talking about minutes to hours now? Does this look like what your goats did?

Oh and there is a piece of straw stuck on the bottom half.

Woohoo! Looks like kidding is nearly here!! :pop looks just like how most my does do 30 mins to 6hours before kidding. Of course, your girl could be different. I would say 10minutes - 10 hours, lol. My official guess is SOON!
