It's 11 pm and Prissy is still standing next to the goat barn. It's cold for Florida and everyone else is snuggling- she should be too. She looks slightly puffy in the nether regions, but no udder, no fluid, nothin. Gr. If it wasn't cold I wouldn't worry and would sleep.
On the plus side since they are my daughters goats I'm sending her out to check in an hour.

Well, no news.
Prissy is either bred to our Nigee (unlikely, but possible) or has some messed up hormones and gave us a false positive on her pregnancy test. I'll be looking at dates and seeing what I can figure out.
Today is 145 for Orchid's last date- so we should have babies this week. I just looked at the weather and saw that Wednesday to Friday we will have unseasonably cold weather- below freezing. Figures. Her udder is filling up nicely and she's still happy and bouncy even though she is as wide as she is tall. So excited!
We already have two Nigerian wethers sold to a great family. They run a k5-2nd grade program at a charter school and the goats will be at the school during the school year for the kids- and on the family farm for the summer.
Queen is due March 20. She has a super cute little ff udder coming in. So, several chances for boys. After last year I hope that's not all we get! We also have the two unregistered does, Periwinkle and Daisy, probably due in May as a backup.

Good Luck! We will be having cold weather with negative wind chills for the rest of this week before it sort of warms up on Sat. Our doe at day 149- looks to be getting her udder.

We are having unseasonably cold weather too. Wed night 5 degrees, Thursday high of 17 and Thursday night 0 degrees. I don't ever remember it being 0 in NC.

Are you sure that isn't unreasonably cold and not unseasonably ? It shouldn't be that cold no matter what the season.
