Hope she waits!

So far all our goats have birthed when we were home/around. Two of the four we did come home to first babies legs, so we did cut it a bit close. Lol. Also, none after 9 pm or before 9am. I'd like to keep that pattern going.

Thats very comforting! So far so good. Friends hust headed out to do their last check. Gladys hollowed out at lunch and was looking a little poofier back there, all good things if she waits. her ligs were still firm and tight. I will seperate her back off tonight after im done feeding everyone. I knew this goat would drag it out.

Heres a question. How far past the 155 do you wait before you get a vet or reach in there?

Maybe tonight! We will see.

We deployed some @Sweetened baby sweaters for ours today. They seemed chilled this morning.

I had a doe go to day 161. I saw the breeding so I know when the countdown started. I also had a friend SWEAR that her does were past due and talked the doc into letting her induce labor. She lost all three kids, they were early and she had miscalculated. Patience. I mine go before 155 I am surprised.

I have come home to new kids after work,had them born in the early evening, and had them born in the middle of the night. About all I can say is that I have not had any born between 5 and 9 AM. Other than that it is open season.

Thanks babs! Just something i am not experienced with, was worth asking. I know the breeding dates for sure, i hand bred them, watched my buck struggle to leverage himself to her height but he got it, several times lol.
