So, the kids cooperated with timing.
I was at home this afternoon and Maurine went out and checked her at 4pm.
She came in and said she is starting to have some contractions so it should be soon.
At 4:45 she said she was going to go out and start chores so she could keep an eye out for her.
I said, why don't you go ahead and take some towels with you.
Rachel came in the house in about 15 minutes and said "she's had a baby".
Second one came 15 minutes later.

Next up Pearle. Today is day 147 for her.

Hopefully, she will wait until tomorrow evening around 6pm.
We like it when the do that.

Your herd will be huge again in no time!

Hope it isn't a single buck, and really hope it isn't too big.

I confess, there are quite a few goats I am hoping for bucks out of.

The only buck we would consider keeping would be from Clarabelle/Vivaldi if she is bred
When Cole was doing ultrasounds he mentioned keeping a buck from Eclipse to breed to Zamia and Clarabelle
Zeus is Eclipse"s sire so Zamia would be this hypothetical bucks great grand dam

We got his bill for the ultrasounds
He only charged us $100
He was here for 2 1/2 hours on a Saturday
Maurine called him and said she hated to complain about a bill being to cheap
He said he didn't have anything else to do and had fun hanging out and talking goats
