Looks great!
Next year I'm going to need some dedicated kidding stalls. We are playing musical goat shelters this year. Last year we had a huge 12x12 horse stall that we divided - but the horse we boarded came back.
And yay for Clara Belle! Those are going to be some spoiled kids until you get more.

Got the 2nd stall built and the gate for the first one.
So, I got to this point and realized I was out of fence staples, and when I got the hinges for the gate I didn't get the latch. So, Clara Belle made a big change in 8 hours today. Udder got tighter and her foo foo really swelled up. So, she's day 143 and still had her ligs but I figured I better go get a latch.
So, I've got some time now since after Clara Belle we are good until March. Gate operates as smooth as butter.

We just did the same thing... hinges but forgot the latches and the u-bolts... so many trips to Lowes and TSC 
Stalls look great! You must be pretty excited about this kidding!

Not going to do a kidding thread now since no one else is due for a month
Ours have always kidded on day 146 plus or minus 1 day
I guess we will see
We need does this year
We have 4 people already who want does but we aren't taking reservations for specific animals

I was going to wait until she kidded to update, but since you asked
When I was feeding yesterday afternoon, that baby was kicking up a storm, you could keep seeing that bump on her side.
Ligament was completely gone on one side of the tail head and softened on the other this morning which is day 147.
It will happen today or tonight.
I'm betting it's a single. They usually go longer.
