From what I understand, being is not enough. You'll need to be more like .

THEN you watch the weather for a nasty storm, plan a trip to town, and she will go right into labor.

I feel for ya. That waiting business is for the birds.

I swear i will never leave a buck with my does and not know my dates. its driving me nuts. we were on vacation last week and my house sitter called on thursday and said she going to have it today.. I was sad but knew we couldn't leave till friday as we were visiting our kids and also a friend, whose dad was termial. So I was satisfied i would come home to find my new life on the farm.. since then.. nothing...... so now i spend my day running back and forth to check on her..

I am with ya! Olivia was bred the same time as my friends' doe. She already has her baby doe... but Olivia is NOT giving up her baby yet!

I'm making many trips to the barn to check on her and sitting and rubbing her belly and neck... but NOOOOOOOO she doesn't want to give it up!


Good Luck!!!
