Getting excited about new kids!

[mdavenport121]

I've got two mommas that are pretty close. I keep thinking any day now, but I've been thinking that for a week. I'm pretty sure in the next couple of weeks.

This is Granny.
I bought her this past June. She was in pretty bad shape when I bought her (she was cheap), I honestly thought she might die. I got her looking good and healthy. I put her with a buck in July. The previous owners told me she was about 3 years old and has never kidded.

Uh I think she just * might* kid for you.

This is Oreo.

I've had her since August of 2011. She kidded in the middle of May, but when her kid was 3 weeks old it died in a freak storm. The wind blew over my fire pit onto the kid. I've learned my lesson to keep my fire pit put up. I put her back with the buck in July when I put Granny in. I'm hoping for two. She just had one in May and she is already bigger than she was in May.

Gotta say this is really encouraging for me. Thanks for posting these pics.

I have a first-freshener that still has 2 1/2 months to go and she is huge, not fat, huge out to the sides like your girl. I was wondering about her today, like is she gonna make it that long. So seeing this says...yep!

I'm excited to see what and how many your girl has. Sorry about the kid you lost, that had to be devastating.


Do you know when she is due or just sometime in Dec?

I put her with the buck the first of July, but I don't know what day she bred. She's been this big for about a month now. I'm excited, but I've seen no discharge, so it may be a couple of weeks.
