Kidding watch thread - Spotty Mini Nubian- New Vid pg 15

[SuburbanFarmChic]

So hopefully this goes better than Louise....


This is Spot who really needs a better name. We may have a guess the day and name the mama contest instead. She is due kind of sometime in Jan-ish and this is her at the end of Nov. I think I took this one the day after Thanksgiving. I'm going to get an udder and hoohoo shot today.

Signs: Lots of stretching, walking a bit stiffly, belly is starting to drop, udder is bigger but not boom yet, had a discharge on Saturday which I think was just some plug action or late term bleeding. Small string of crusty brown stuff on her hoohoo. It was all dried out when I found it so I don't know what color it started out as. The last three days brought a noticeable difference in her udder size. She's still not super loose in the back though.

I'm thinking about a week or so. Her last kidding which was last March was triplets.

She is bred to a Nubian. She's about 3/4 the size of my Nubian doe and she throws twins or trips and she's been bred to a full Nubian before.

Getting there, I promise. My old Nubian girl got herself in a bit of a pickle last night and I'm tending to her just at the moment. She got her self stuck under a panel and spent most of the night there and was pretty cold and shook up this morning. Also she's developed a cold w/ massive nose crusties which aren't being helped by her sticking her head in pumpkins and getting covered in goo and then into the dusty edges of the new hay bale.

Ok. Old Nubian is dosed and now wearing very silly goat pajamas.


Updated udder, hoohoo shot. She wasn't too keen on pics and she's starting to drop and looks a lot less pregnant that she had just last week.








I could have spent more time outside getting better shots but it is snowing and freezing and I didn't have my gloves so.... this is it. Brrr.
