Good I feel better knowing all of you have to deal with all these goat antics to. Hey anyone got 50 bucks? haha J/K.
Well the plan is to just wait and see, November can't come soon enough now!!
As for the ex ray I took her in and it was about a month or so developed , It looks like a smoky blob at that point because the babys bones haven't calcified yet.I asked him if he was SURE she was preggers. Because I was going to be very upset if she turned out not to be. He is suppose to be the livestock guy.
vets seem like they all have their own opinions on things. I have worked for a few and just like anyone else they have their own ideas on things. How to's and stuff. it is hard to find a vet that will take goat buisness serious here in Mo. Also with my chickens, finally found one ,maybe ....
We'll see her shortly.
Should i let her eat the afterbirth then?
Thanks about the horns too.and to everyones in put.:D

They eat the afterbirth in the wild. Mine go into kidding stalls and there's no need for them to eat it and maybe choke, so it's really up to you.

I take the afterbirth out as soon as the doe delivers it. It can give them gas/diarrhea.
