Kidding Thread *NEW PICS ADDED 6/12*

[SDGsoap&dairy]

Ms. Research- here is a pic of Sunny when she was open. It gives you some comparison for an open doe with a healthy rumen and good body capacity and the same doe in the last month of gestation. It's virtually impossible to tell if a doe is pregnant by looking at her belly unless she's heavy bred (late gestation) and by that time she would have developed an udder and cleared up any guessing as to her status anyway. Sunny isn't overconditioned in this photo nor is she preggers.

Truly thank you for that. Great explanation with the picture. Definitely a "LIGHT BULB" moment. I guess I learn better that way.

Thanks again.

I look at the pics of your minis and the overall structure and top line is very different from the Saanen and Toggenburg we run.

Good looking crew you have there.

Nigerians tend to be cobbier than the standards, but the ideal structure is essentially the same.

Thanks!

Sandy is getting close! Her ligs have been springy and getting softer for about a week. You can see how posty she is and the steepness of her rump- it's almost go time.

Love her coloring. Hoping all goes smoothly! Thinking Pink!

Thanks everyone! They're of course dragging it out as long as possible. I keep expecting to feel Sandy's ligs and discover they're gone, but each time they're still very much there. Does just love how they get pampered those last couple weeks. They can't hold out forever though!
