Heidi's Kidding thread - unknown due date!

[nigerianbreeder]

Just thought I would share pictures of Heidi. She is due to kid some time soon. I wanted you all to guess on when she would give birth. She is 2.5 years old and a FF. I projected her due date to be sometime around now but don't have specifics.

First let me say that's a very nice looking goat.

Based on the looks of udder, she is due soon.

I would keep close tabs on her ligaments. In my experience that is the most accurate indicator of a doe being soon in the next 24 hours or so.

Thank you. It's also a VERY stubborn goat. The judge last year placed her as best dry yearling at the fair. Didn't show her this year due to her pregnancy issue. Just showed the other not so preggo one in the pet class. Next year I'm going to show her and the other one at some ADGA sanctioned shows. The buck I bred them to is tri colored, blue eyes, and has multiple champions in it's pedigree.

Sorry about the mega close up !

Just thought I would add a few more pictures from today. Her ligs are still very much there so not today.

I was watching her today and noticed a few different things. On fias co farms website I printed off a signs of labor page. I've noticed today she has a few of them. One being the far away look in her eyes. It also said a lot of yawning is a symptom. She did that A LOT while I was out there. Her udder ( not sure if this anything to do with anything ) also seems a little warmer than usual. Her ligs still feel there but a touch softer than earlier. She also has been making a different noise than she usually makes. Sounds more like a quiet in pain noise.Probably just tricking my self but I really hope it's tomorrow or the day after!

Just for anyone who may be interested her ligaments are almost 100% GONE! Still nothing coming form her lady parts. Maybe tonight or tomorrow .

Still nothing but the ligs are still gone. Should be tonight! :bun
Just checked on her again and she has a 6" - 8" strand of milky colored stuff hanging from her lady parts.
