FF Goat - Asking Questions

[MargaretClare]

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. 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.

Thank you all! I will keep you posted. Her legs are fine and she is acting normal. Ready to keep progressing!

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!! 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!
