In our area, the local 4H club does ultrasounds by a vet at a member's house. You don't have to be a 4her, just pay the $10 for each goat. It's pretty accurate by 3 months. The 'pooch" test is also an option.

Wow, that's a cheap ultrasound. I wish someone here did that so cheap!
I'm generally good at pooch testing, but this doe has been through a LOT of kiddings, and had a rough one last year, she delivered stillborn triplets without dilating fully, and got pretty torn up from it, and she never really went back to normal looking back there, she's always sort of poochy. This will be her last kidding. I'm awaiting test results on her, they should be running it today.

After losing one of our favorite doelings recently, my husband gave me permission to keep ALL doelings this next round. And my neighbor who loaned me the buck has hinted at the possibility of trading my babysitting skills for a kid or two in the spring, so I'm wishing for doelings from my favorite in her herd too.
Here's the parents-to-be, she was bred to kid January 29th. I'm expecting some nice things from this match. The bottom one is the doe. She's kind of thin, so I'm cramming as many calories into her as I can to get her back in shape.

Ariel is famous for being able to tell if a doe is pregnant or not by looking at a picture of the doe's hoo hoo.
I think if you search "pooch test pics" or something like that you'll see what I mean!
