If bred in June: expect kids in November.

I guess the most inconvenient time possible.

You guys are just too funny! How about whoever comes closest to guessing her kidding date gets to pick the name for the kid of their choice! And if you pick the date she actually does kid, I'll let you have the kid at half price! How's that for a deal?

I'll guess about 1 week after you've officially gone bonkers waiting and running to the barn every time she makes a noise. If you're already anxiously waiting she's going to take as long as possible! I'll guess for November 27th. Twins.

And she has a nice start on an udder there. Some boers can look rather, uh, (apologies to Boer owners!!) sheep-like with the four teats sticking out at funny angles and being kind of small. Ruger looks good.

Oh Crud, If this is true, I miscalculated my doe's due month!! No wonder she does not show signs... I guess I have to keep wondering if she is prego longer....

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, she looks pregnant. I'm guessing she's due sometime in November if it's twins. Her bottom looks normal for a pregnant goat. And she looks like she has been eating well. I'm also guessing she will be a first freshener from the looks of her udder. Oh wait, I'm standing at the base of the tree on that one.

The question is, did she show signs of estrus in July? If she did, then she is having triplets or quads and is due in December.
