how to tell if goat is pregnant

[autumnprairie]

If she is pregnant I would say a single, as far as this month maybe I had one that showed no signs at all and then out of the blue showed all stages about 2 hours before delivery

Saanen/Nubian cross and if she is pregnant small single.

You can put your arms around her belly toward her udder and "bump" her. If it feels watery and squishy she might be pregnant, if it is tight and muscly she probably isn't. You can also look at her vulva, as they are in later pregnancy the tip will begin to point up. Also in later pregnancy you can push on her right side behind her ribs in that hallow area, you can sometime feel a kid in there.

Here is a link on bumping the goat. I've never felt anything hard doing my goats though, they always feel kind of like there is a over filled water balloon in there.

I would say yes to PG and my breed guess is Nubian/ Saanen mix

I concur, half Nubian and half Saanen. She also could be Kiko due to her meatier and less angular dairy-type build but with her being dehorned I will stick with my first inclination 1/2 Nubian and 1/2 Saanen.

I use fiascofarms for everything I don't know. All the information has been reliable. I aM also not good with breeds, but it does look like the half Nubian and half saanen.
