I like the bucks, but yeah the does... Not my style! My Nigie doe is like that, she beats everyone up for existing. So annoying, especially because she's fat and my minis are still growing!

So... we are waiting on Leah... she was brought up to a holding pen last night. That is where she was when we took these pics... she is now in a kidding stall.
Not in labor but we won't have time to move her when she does go and we need space!
We are thinking quints like last year... hopefully no cords get pinched or strangle...
Today is day 145.
She got a repeat breeding to lil jo from last year, the only nigie so far this year not bred to Isaac.

I don't know when you have to do your test but keep working with them
We are doing 6 or 8 hour seperations
2 or 3 times a day
Also there is no time limit on the stand when you do your test
You should just be consistent for both tests
And one other thing
If Spinning Spider has young kids sometimes on their first test they just milk once and make a note that they did one milking due to young kids
Your first test doesn't make or break you

Have you considered going to an Urgent Care place?

We do have a Velcro nigie though…
She is a hoot. I couldn't stand her as a kid though, she was just terrible. Didn't like people much (even as a bottle baby!) and would bite and chew people to no end.
She was nicknamed "Jezebel"
back then. Now she is just Belle and is a complete nut. She is always under my feet and is glued to my side. She is year old and loves to be held. I'm not joking! She actually likes it!
She is by far the strangest Nigerian doe we have.
The boys are
though!

She is! She literally lives for it. It's almost a daily routine now. Never had a year old doe like it! I started doing it figuring she'd run away (trying to get her away while working out there) but NOPE, she LIKED it and has loved it since.

@Southern by choice my DH just completed week 2 of therapy and can now reach across to scratch his left arm with his right hand, something HUGE because he hasn't been able to do that in years. He still has a long way to go, but already he has range of motion that he hasn't had in years. His shoulder used to pop out of socket and I had to push it back in.
If at all possible, you need to have your shoulder fixed. The surgery is painful and recovery takes a while, but it sure beats years of suffering.
