Kidding season at sweet horizon minis

[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

@StarSpangledNubians thank you! She is friendly too

We breed Bella to fox today! If she took day 150 would be may 8th. That being said she possibly short cycled last month at her previous owners as they had her due to come into heat last week

Lillie is definitely getting chunky (whether that is from pregnancy or not is yet to be determined). That being said her udder is starting to get "pouchy" so fingers crossed for kids in late Feb/early march.

hoping to use a fetal doppler on her this weekend to see what we can hear. She is due 2/26/19 so she would be 2.5 months bred or close to it

@StarSpangledNubians so far Lillie (my ff) has not grown any sort of beard. She is due Feb 26th

Have you considered Bio-pryn? I am going to send blood out on 2 goats for preg checks this week.

Dang, I thought maybe I was on to something. Thanks for letting me know your results!

@StarSpangledNubians your welcome.

@southernbychoice she is bred, she is forming a nice little udder and has gotten very round (will try to get pics of both her roundness and udder in the morning before she eats) (yes I know eating has nothing to do with size of udder right now but it does with roundness lol) only reason I commented on the beard was because star asked me to keep an eye out
I am going to pull blood on Bella and cami probably end of January and send to biopryn.

I'll be having Charlie babies end of Feb from lillie and out of cami between end of Jan and April (probably end of April because I have not seen/heard her in heat since last breeding)

Really praying for a doeling (I'll be happy with one )

So I had a spare minute to use a Doppler on Lillie....we heard a heartbeat! So excited I told her had to be a girl she is definitely more friendlier than normal and I have been getting her used to the milk stand and having her udder handled so hopefully when it's time to milk her she will be a ff like aameerah and not give alot of trouble

 

[StarSpangledNubians]

That's so cool! I have one in my kidding kit but have never been able to use it/ hear a heartbeat. How long did it take you to find it?

 

[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

I had tried to use it about a month ago and couldn't hear anything so they have to be about 3 months pregnant. I watched a video on the fb groups I'm in so I knew where to look.
It took just a few minutes, you do need to use the ultrasound gel. Trying to get where I can draw on a photo to show you where I heard it at
