Pretty sure Angela is bred, these pics are from May and from today. Now, she always carries a wide load, sort of like a basketball on each side but I'm thinking she is looking more like she's got barrels in there now. Her last kidding she gave me two doelings, I would like one of each this time, as I need a wether to keep my buck company. What do you all think, at least two, right? She is due first week of October, counting from the time she was witnessed to be bred, but she had been with the buck for maybe a week by then, so she could be a bit earlier.

Just realized how weird she looks in the second pic, she was scratching her neck on the stump. Also, she is a Pygora and her coat is beginning to grow for the winter.

No big udder yet, but even when she had her girls last time her udder never got huge, also, it's very hairy so hard to tell but for sure nothing like some I've seen. I wouldn't expect it to go boom for another month.
