No clue when or how our mini nubian got pregnant by our Nigerian dwarf! Had them both since last April, she (Vermillion) was 1 and Cash (The goat in Blaaaaack) was two months. I have pretty much doubled her feed and she gets a whole bunch of Berru alfalfa horse treats and they have full access to a goat block for mineral. I still feel like she's too skinny, but um this is 100% my first rodeo, and hers too! We just came out of the winter from hell, (hubby had two dental emergencies and broke his foot and our dog broke her leg fighting with our corgi 💸💳💸) so now I'm scrambling to find a livestock vet since I do trimming and CDT vaxxing n deworming myself etc. So now we get to get to play, how far along is she?! The close up pix of her udders and tail and Lady bits were today, the others were only two days ago. Is she eating enough? how far along does she look? When should I seperate her? Where Would it be better to move him instead and just give him the little shelter? (He decided to take over our duck house.... it's his now) so any help figuring out how much longer we have is appreciated!
