Now that was a contraction I think.

Now that was a contraction I think.

Are you refering to the trail stiffening body freezing, then relaxing and wagging the tail? It has been so long since I have been around a goat kidding, I was 17 the last time(almost 30 now). I am preparing for the future and trying to remember things.

If What I was seeing was a contraction, it looked like a pretty strong one....

 

[Missy]

And possibly another one. Laying down this time...

 

[SuburbanFarmChic]

Yep. Tail straight up, head out, whole stomach clenched. That's what to look for. She'll start doing those fairly close together when she's in full blown labor. She's just warming up now I think.

 

[Queen Mum]

Nah! She's just fooling with us! She's waiting for the boss lady to come in and untie the knot in her tail so she can fly around the room and all the air will com bursting out of her big fat air filled tummy.

Just wait til yours gets closer! The curiosity about what colors, how many kids, how many boys/girls etc--just so many things to drive you crazy while you wait ever so patiently!
