Question - I've been reading up on selenium deficiency....is this something that should have been dosed to the doe PRIOR to conception? What do I need on hand if I have kids that are deficient?

If you are in a selenium deficient area (which you are) than most do give Selenium. BoSe is Rx. Geberally it is given prior to breeding.
Sometimes a doe may be borderline and her kids deficient.
They do sell over the counter gels that may help.

Have you felt or seen any movement?
Was thinking about your doe last night.

I've not felt anything, but I have seen "fluttering movements" that looks a lot like kicks to me.

Is there a specific gel I should have on hand in case needed for any of the kids? I'd rather be prepared then have something wrong and can't do anything because it's 1 am in the snow!?!?

So no good updates. Just fat and happy. At this rate if it doesn't happen this weekend I'll think she has 2 more months to go. Lol

I hate to even say this lol… years ago there was a member here on BYH that thought get goat was goat was going to kid any moment for two months :ep :th :duc
She was a good goat mom and constantly had an eye on her goat.

I don't think that'll be the case with your girl though. :fl

Oh- could just be the pic but it looks like she has more than one kid hiding in there!

Such a shame she doesn't want you to mess with her. It'd be so much easier on you if you could check her ligs.
