Happy Valentines day!

My calender says Kisses should be in heat today. Betty walks funny. Her rear looks,"loosened" and
her ligs have come and gone. Maybe babies? I did a good job at Kisses hoofs. If I do say so myself!
They look better and even. Well It's warmer today and I'm in the mood to be working outside.

they sell it at any co-op, tsc or atwoods you are 3 hours from me

Thanks! I have access to TSC and Atwoods.

SmallFarmGirl: Thanks for letting me know about this. Country Vet appears to have products for wasp, too. My 6-year-old son is fatally allergic to wasp and I'm going to see if their products will work better than what we've been using.

Hm.... Anyone want to chat a bit? Something to talk about???

Wanna chat about goats and when the heck theyre gonna kid???

My pygmy doe has an unknown breeding date, vet said she was 'more than 90 days" by ultrasound on Jan. 18th, and I am going nuts trying to follow her around to check for all or any of the signs of impending kidding!

This will be my first experience with goats having kids! Any hints, tips or advice?

Watch a kidding cam. That helped me. Read Roll's kidding page and relax. I'm still waiting. NOW I know the signs of labor.

wait and watch wait and watch....

Yeah, I was watching the prarrie farms cam- missed every birth, darn it! Had to youtube them. That was cool.

Been re-reading all the kidding threads, but somehow, thats not making Sophie (my doe) go into labor any faster!

Guess Im reduced to just going out there 12 times a day and checking her ligs and trying to get a view of all her girlie stuff- she does not appreciate me trying to see her udder.

Her udder is getting bigger, but her ligs are still hard as pencils. Her belly is starting to get low though. One thing that worries me is that I dont see anything that looks like movement on her right side. Vet only saw one spine during ultrasound, so Im thinking she only has one kid and its not big enough yet to let me see its movements on the outside.


What kind of goats do you have again? You have one close to kidding, right?

Pick the last possible day you think they'll kid & add a week or 2 to that guess.... LOL

Stinky ole goats!!

Now my Coco's due date is about March 11th so I can expect her to kid from March 17th to March 25th lol.

Walking funny is a good sign. Kinda post legged & waddley.

Nigerians and I have no idea! Can't trust the breeder on the dates when the buck got out. AND her fencing's bad where her bucks are.
