I just want to say beautiful photos of beautiful animals. You are a great photographer!
I'm sorry for the loss of some of your girls. And wishing you the best in the coming month.
...and looking forward to photos you may take of the kids!

Me too BAF! she ff last year to a single stillborn, i dont know doe or buck or not, other owner didnt check. When i talled to him last, he said he never thought the girls were pregnant, they didnt look any different. Betty delivered twins, i think i mentioned that. They were barely 5 lbs each and floras buckling was apparently the same size.
Thank you vkat! I really appreciate that.

When i go out at night to shut off lights, i spend time with the girls. The herd is still healing from the loss of the two dominant does. To mu surprise, Gladys took over the herd quickly and reigns with an iron fist. Flora is an easy second with the wobbly red, Eliza tootsie and gretel indifferently placed on the bottom. To my surprise, though Eliza has no conflict with other goats, Flora has surrendered to her. Eliza cracks heads with flora and falls over from her defective back end, but it soesnt deter her in the least and Flora runs from her.
Gladys' bag is steadily growing. She has started filling the rear attachment area and when she crouches low in the feeder, the shape of her udder is obvious. She is significantly larger than 3 weeks ago especially after just getting up.
Flora was being sucky for attention so i sat with my head on her neck and scratched for a little over 20 minutes. I made sure to set my head so i could watch her right side. I saw 3 movements in a 5 minute span that looked like pieces of popcorn going off under her skin -- one forward rowards her ribs and then two within seconds of eachother back at her hips. It seems she does have a little one in there!
Or im suffering from lack of sleep, hallucinations or Caprine Induced Psychosis (or CIP).

Gretel went from very little milk going in a couple days ago to a half full bag today. Her day 145 is in 12 days. While we havent seen her mucous plug yet this year, she is poofy in the vulva and opened up a bit. She did this early on last year as well and tried to trick me, but i am wiser this year and know her due date so i am not fooled or worried.
Tootsie lost her mucous plug a day or two ago, so all good signs and extra reassurances of pregnancy.
I am ridiculously excited for gladys's bag! If she is anything like her sister, itll be the udder everyone dreams for. As she continues to fill up, hdr attachment in the rear feels phenomenal, tight and high.
Got this years boy and girl name lists done up, so im set unless everyone has quads of one sex lol!
