I have never used a tape to measure the weight. I think Ill get one to check my chubby nigerian doe. She is so big, im worried, but maybe Im just used to smaller goats and she is just right.

Where on the body do you put the tape around WhiteMountainsRanch?

You put the tape right behind their front legs, so essentially around the ribs.

From the look of the photos...are you sure of your birthing date? She could be sooner?

But then I am the one that had a very pregnant looking ram...yeah...we feed them perhaps too much? :rolleyes:

They were at the breeders specific dates. The breeder breeds by hand, doesn't just "throw them in". My doe was there for 17 days total, bred 2 different times I believe. She gave me a buck memo with the dates putting her due on Feb 23rd. Even if she was bred the very first day she was there she still wouldn't be due until Feb 8th.

I don't think the tape will work with Nigerian or Pygmy's
