ok, I'm a lurker. :hide I admit it.. I watch and read posts when I can, but don't often comment (inevitably if I do, then I get busy and can't get back on for several days or weeks and end up feeling bad). Anyway. last week I was thrilled to be able to watch Lilli have her babies (both of my does last year did it while I was at work :hit, so missed it completely, hopefully they will be more considerate this year.) and since then I've been checking back in on Lolli. man I hope I got the names right, way too close to each other..

Anyway, since I don't speak up often, I probably shouldn't and all that. but I can't seem to help myself, I've been checking in on her periodically this afternoon and is it just me or does Lolli not seem particularly happy with her "studly neighbor" . Here she is getting ready to have babies and seems like every time she gets comfy there he is jumping on the wall (I've seen her get up and move away and give him dirty looks several times) and even trying to squeeze into her stall thru some sort of opening in the back of that wall. just a caution, if he can get his whole head thru, then a kid is going to be able to get out and into his stall ( I don't know his temperament, but maybe not the best thing)

How is Lolli doing btw? do you think she might go in the next few days or make you wait another few weeks?

oh, and I know it's a little late, but congrats :weee:clap on Lilli's babies (super cute :))...

Oh you are fine!! We didnt realize he could fit his head. She is out in pasture now, she she will be going back in with lilli. That was just a temp fix. We currently only have 2 stalls. the one lilli and lolli were sharing, and then gizmos. I had planned on getting a 3rd done. then medical stuff got in the way of that. I am going to put lilli in pasture with lolli the last 30 minutes or so and hopefully they cool their jets with eachother and I can just let them all have lillis full pen instead of having to divide since we only have 1 door on it. And yes you did get the names right!!! Most people don't :) Lolli should go anytime now, she is out in pasture exercising now that im here to supervise, Our electric fence got messed up with all the snow so cant leave while she is in there, she might get out. but she hasnt tested the fence since when she first was trained. Her udder is full, ligs are gone, and her vulva is swollen.

I should add, lolli is great with lillis kids. So having them all in pen shouldnt be an issue. it's just if lilli and lolli stop being buttheads to eachother lol

I just have to ask.... you say that she is dilated - do you mean that you've done an internal exam and her cervix is open?
