March Kidding--Anyone due and want to wait with me??

[Missy]

Beautiful goats everyone I am so excited!

...I am wishing however I would have paid more attention to the farmers almanac. They seem to be spot on this year with the snow and cold temps. I am hoping that it warms up at least a little by early March!

I thought I would jump in since it seems to have quiet lately. I have 5 American Blackbelly ewes.
Clair was bred 10/15 by my ram, Shooter so should be due mid March (Age unknown)

Annie was bred 10/19 by my ram, Shooter so should be due mid March (Age unknown)

I purchased this ewe on 10/26 and she had been with a ram at her previous home. (My ram has shown no interest in her so I assume she was bred at her previous home). Due date unknown. (About 2 years old)

I purchased this ewe along with the one above on 10/26. We have been calling her Bambi. Again she had been with a ram at her previous home and my ram has showed no interest but she is only 10 months old so if she is not bred yet I'm fine with that. I would like her to have a little more size on her.

Last is Rosie. She continues to be bred. 10/2, 11/20 and again 1/19 so I'm starting to wonder if she is barren...

And, here is my Ram, Shooter who is a year and 5 months. These will be his first lambs.

WOW he looks big... they all look so tall I didn't know sheep got that tall.... but then I don't know anything about sheep, but they are pretty.

Izzy is on track! Vet ultrasounded her again this AM, said everything looks good. Apparently she was uncooperative with the vet and my boyfriend because I wasn't there.. Nothing like being a mom as girl

just checked my does.. we re diffidently going to have babies, but might be sooner then I thought. I thought it took 5 mths? So I don't get it, from the time the billy got in the same pen to march would have been 5 mths and I had the billy in with them for 2 weeks. but both my girls is already bagging up, I only know horse talk .. sorry, don't know what it's called in goat talk, yes this will be my first birthing of goats.
