Spotz's Kidding thread: C-SECTION MOM & BABY UPDATE! PAGE 13

Slightly off topic, but I think Spotz is the prettiest goat I've ever seen. I very much hope, if we ever get in a place to have some of our own, that I'm lucky enough to find one like her. My fingers are crossed for you that she has three doelings as beautiful as she is. Best wishes!

Aww! Why thank you! We waited 2 years for her, and it was well worth the wait! I hope you get beautiful goats soon!

Jerebear7, if it is a big kid, just be patient and hang in there with her. Take it slow and help her gently. Massage the vulva gently and work with her. (some A & D ointment might work or bag balm) She can do it if you take your time. BUT, with that said, she really looks like it's twins. For that matter, she looks like a school bus and might have triplets.


Good luck.

Wow - 2 years! I admit I'm ignorant about many things goat-related. Why the long wait? Please, if you will, fill me in on what made her hard to find (other than her beautiful face) . . . maybe the story-telling will help pass the time while you wait for her to kid . . . .

We were set on what we wanted in a doe, the people we bought her from, we chose the mom an reserved a doe from her, the first year her mom had 2 bucklings. The second one, she had triplet bucklings. Then she had Spotz the next go around. We really liked the blue eyes and that was the only reputable breeder of purebred NDG's at the time. We had our hearts set on a doeling from spotz's mom, so it made the wait worth it. She is the best goat we've ever owned.

Thanks. She looks like she was definitely worth the wait. Hope her babies look like her!

Got updated pics of Spotz this morning, at 20 weeks. It seems that her ligaments are loose again, they were hard last night. If we are correct on her breed date, she should be due this Sunday, the 12th, does she look like she could kid around then? I felt her baby this morning, so I know it won't be today. It seems as though her belly is dropping...She looks skinnier up towards the top of her belly now, so I don't know. We got better clippers, and kinda cleaned her up a bit, but she does not let me shave those hairs on her legs behind her udder, and it is bugging me..lol. Anyways, if anyone could let me know if we are pretty close on her due date that would be great, doesn't have to be exactly the 12th, but do any of you think she is gonna kid sometime around then? The owner of the buck, saw him mount her 4 times on September 20th. So, thats what we have been using for her breed date. Thanks for any and all help that has been given to me. I've taken it all in to better prepare myself, and my family to help Spotz if needed.

Love following Spotz thread!! Her & Enya are like preggie sisters lol. Can't wait to see what babies they are hiding in there <3

PS-Enya is just starting to hold her tail down a little like Spotz is in your recent pics. I'm taking that as a good sign too since she has been holding it straight up all the time til now. I felt babies last night but didn't feel her belly yet today. Her udder is popping more & more every day though!! C'mon girls, bring it on!!
