PICS!!!!! My Juliet

[Holachicka]

I'm wondering how far off your calculations could have been, you mentioned Oct, was when the buck was around, Looking at my handy dandy kidding spreadsheet, if she were bred Oct 31, her due date would be March 30th. (150days) So to be due the 25th then the bred date would be Oct 26 etc...

I'm betting it's just a simple miscalculation. She looks preggers to me, but I'm no expert

My milker, May has an uneven udder too. I don't show, so it's no big deal to me! Just her temperment and the quality/quantity of milk she provides!

Juliet actually doesn't always look fat. She is usually a pretty sleek, svelte girl. Her belly looks right on target. (I haven't seen them move too much, but I have felt them) It is her udder that doesn't look on target. I don't know what is "normal" for her though. She is only freshening for the second time and the first time I didn't own her yet. I wrote on the old calendar the day the Saanen buck got here. When I got the new years calendar, I counted forward 150 days and penciled in the due date. But I didn't save the old calendar, so I can't double check my count.

As for her udder looking uneven--it looks uneven because it is uneven. When she is full, it is much less obvious than when it is flacid (which seems like it should be the opposite, but it isn't--at least not for her). I don't really care. I don't show her. I milk her. She is easy-going, compliant, and gives a good quantity (gallon plus a day) of sweet, good milk. And I like her.

I sure hope she sneaks it in on me here soon. I remember counting pretty carefully. I know I counted at least twice. I don't think I muffed it. But without the calendar, I guess I can't be sure.

Hope to see baby pictures soon. Hope it's a easy birthing.

Well, I am now sure that she is not going to go 2 or 3 more weeks. The buck was here for 6 days. I had 2 does in with him. Juliet was in with him 2 days earlier/longer than Zilla. Zilla kidded this morning. We got 2 healthy kids--a buckling and a doeling. Both are vigorous and doing well. So Juliet is due. Her bag is also quite a bit fuller today, so soon I am hoping.

Okay, I got some more Juliet's Udder pics this afternoon. I think it looks fuller than those posted earlier in the thread, though she is still not in labor. Then I will post some gratuitous goat baby pics!

I like your goat babies, they look like my goat babies. Your Mr. looks like he likes em pretty good too. I love to watch Papaboid cuddle with ours.

I already posted in another thread, but in case anyone was following this one still I just wanted to say she had twin doelings this morning!!

 

[Queen Mum]

Phew! FINALLY! I was beginning to worry and I almost never worry about late due dates. Your DH looks pretty pleased. CONGRATULATIONS!
