Loving the herd life
I had 3 bred Nubians... One kidded on Thursday (Day 151) twin girls 
celebrate), one kidded yesterday (Day 152) triplets- 2 girls and a boy weee), and we are still waiting on the third... Today's Day 155... She's a second freshener, so her bag has started to fill, but nothing huge yet, her backside is starting to open up and her belly is starting to drop, but she's looked like this for the past 3 days! I thought she was going to go Friday, and now we're going on Monday night! What's the deal?? Last year as a FF we found her baby in the barn and her out in the pasture eating when we got home , and she didn't want to let her baby nurse. Once we got them together for a little while she turned out to be a great momma. So due to all that happened last year, we have been penning her up at night, and letting her out in the day time when the weather is nice. But with her on Day 155, we penned her up during the day and let her out once we got home (after work) after finding no babies. Still no signs, no strange behavior, no noticeable udder growth, nothing... WHAT'S THE DEAL??! 
We had a buck (with a marking harness) run with them for 45 days and she was bred immediately (we marked the date) and it didn't seem like she came back into heat at any point during the 45 days he was there, so I don't think my dates are off... Could it be that she didn't settle right away and she's still a week out or something?
Oh, and I will post pics of the babies ASAP... gotta get them loaded to the computer first.
