I think she looked bigger on the 10th than she does now, which to me shows you she has dropped some.

Okay everyone still NOTHING! Grrrrrr.......!!!! So to appease myself and to give everyone a fix with pictures here are today's of Ginger's backside, udder, and belly. I'm beginning to feel like I'm taking porno pictures of Ginger's backside anymore! LOL! I think her udder appears to be fuller (for real this time!) and her nether parts look puffy today. What you guys think? Anyway, without further adieu the star of the show Ms. Ginger!!!!!!!!!!:
The backside picture:
The udder:
By the way, she was scratching her backside on the cable spool at the time! LOL! Such a lady.....

That's what happened with my two does. I knew the older one was pregnant when I bought her. I asked the owner when she had been bred.madcow said:Per the seller there was no exact date on her, just a general range. At this point it could be anywhere between "now" and the end of the January. That's making it really frustrating. For sure when I breed my goats I will be keeping records on all this, because this just makes it a lot more work than it needs to be in my opinion.marlowmanor said:madcow said:Well guys, I figured out that what I thought was udder "boom" with Ginger wasn't. It was the way she was standing that made it look like it had grown dramatically. I feel really embarrassed about it. She has been standing with her hind legs really close together and it made her udder stick way out past her back legs. She still hasn't kidded, and no signs that she will at this moment. Still feeling her ligaments, which I should have checked at that point, but didn't, probably would have told me more. We're still waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and.........
So you have no bred date on her? That is what is making it so hard on you. I'm kind of glad I have a due date for my girls, but of course they could go earlier or later than due dates. Hoping she gives you kids soon.
"Well, she's been with a buck since August. Her daughter might be bred too."
So I began calculating late Sept-early Oct. as my conception dates since neither one "looked" pregnant when I brought them home, but I had a gut feeling on the older one. The younger one--who had the first kid--was a surprise to me. When she began bagging up in Dec., I knew she would be first then.
Waiting with ya ...
