Pregnant Goat VERY fat... UPDATE: PIC OF A 225LB NUBIAN DOE!!!

[Southern by choice]

So I could get accurate weights, I bought a Large Dog Scale that goes up to 250lbs. It makes keeping track of weights easier. I found that scale for $100 after some hunting. It makes a world of difference compared to a weight tape.

Maybe you could post this under another section like equipment and supplies.
Many people on here want a scale but everything I have found was 300+
This is much better price wise for most of us!

That scale would only work for smaller breed goats. It says it's 28" x 16". That's not very big.

Ofcourse she could just have one big buck baby in there

Who was it that had the dream post about the huge baby? This just made me think of that.

Noooo don't say that, good thoughts in bad thoughts out, good thoughts in bad thoughts out, good thoughts in bad thoughts out!!!


Think PINK!!!!

Ok here are her before and afters. Sorry the after is a little far away, she wanted to be RIGHT next to me the entire time, so I had to run away from her to get the pic.

Before: (And I thought she was fat here!) 160 lbs.

After: (Like a sausage) Due in 4 weeks. 225 lbs.

Woe she IS big.
Looks like she is growing a whole other herd. Hope you do get some healthy girls from her.

Look at her udder and posture. Are you sure she's only just a few weeks along?

No sorry if I wasn't clear; she only has 4 more weeks before she is due to kid.

LOL, thank you!!! I will be keeping ALL the doe babies from her, and one boy too. She has some good old Kastdemur bloodlines and is a GREAT milker.
