Goat Whisperer's Kidding thread ~ Leah kid pics :)

Great pictures.
I saw a picture of Ruth's first udder on ya'lls website. Very, very nice.
I have never heard of the farm the bred those two, but they are doing a great job.
I hope that Leah looks just as good when she freshens
And that buckling looks great too.
I know you guys don't show, but based on Ruth's overall general appearance and that beautiful udder I'm sure that she would do very well.
And based on the picture of the buckling, you are pretty good at setting one up to.
But, you can't slip them feed in the show ring.

Thank you!

The feed.......yeah...... little brat was terrible. I couldn't get him to stand nice without feed to save my life. Goats....you gotta love em!

I think she is a "closet" show girl!
...and I don't mean the goat!

Alright Y'all, I think Leah may be in early labor.

Her udder is bigger then it was last night.
She is staring to swell & open up.
Her tail area is hollow.
She wont stand long & when she does she makes a nest then lays back down.
She is now breathing hard & has that "look" in her eyes.

Day 145 isn't until Wednesday, so she may be kidding a little early.

Does anyone have advise on preemie kids? They would only be a few days early I am planning to bottle feed anyway, so the kids would probably be in the house for the first few days.

I think thays what i would do is bottle feed just to make sure they can. Maybe plan to tube? I read they cant regulate their body heat when premie

good luck! Is she goopy?

Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been out mucking all day. She is starting to push a little now. I will be checking her thru the night.
