@SandDherds -Shoot! I don't want to wait that long! Oh well, I am sure she doesn't want to wait that long either .

@samantha draws -Same here, I won't have lambs on the ground to next spring. I am having to live through others till then.

Okay just wanted to update nothing has changed yet but I did hear from the lady I got her from that her first goat kidded a few days ago with twin bucks and I asked about udders she said she is a miniature silky fainting goat and that she hasnt had a goat fill the udder till after they had them so I guess the udder is pretty much out of the question and they don't do ligs so they don't know when they get soft but they probably will a day or so before she goes. I also just got kicked out by my landlord and I have 30 days to move I found a 3 acre house in Idaho about 8 hours from me so I am gonna move there that's alot of packing and so close to miricles due date ugh! But its what I gotta do. I gotta get chickens,ducks,goats,rabbits,ferrets and one big livestock dog that's going to be fun

Really? That's awesome!


Okay so update miracles ligaments are pretty much gone!!! Last night they were very hard and when I let her out of the stall this morning her ligs are almost gone you have to push relatively hard to find them and she is extremely! hungry she was eating like she hasn't eaten in weeks normally she is all slow eating this morning she was an absolute hog! So I'm hoping we have babies soon! I'll keep you all updated!

Yay!

With my goat who just kidded, her udder and teats didn't get bigger until she was in labor.

Wow! They just want to drive us crazy!





Okay so we should expect babies today her ligs are 100% gone! She was standing out in the snow (which we got 5 inches of over night) she was calling and calling and calling for me she had a string of whiteish mucus and looks like she has dropped. Last night I knew something was going on she was VERY loud when I was locking the chickens up she is normally pretty quiet she also kept looking at her stomach like she had no idea what was going on and doing a little baby talking her ligs were still there so I only checked twice once at 12 once at 3am but this morning her ligs wer 100% gone I searched for a good 5 minutes! There will be updates and pics to come
