Sweetened's 2016 kidding thread

[Goat Whisperer]

Our NDs tend to go before day 150. I think 146-7 is our average. The earliest I have had a doe go was 144. That does daughter who lives at a clients farm, kidded on day 140. She was a FF. I wouldn't say that's the norm for them to go that early though. I go by the looks, not really the date.

I think @OneFineAcre said most of his does go before day 150 but I don't remember.

Oi, hoping for 145/6 then as we are out of town for 3 days after that. The people I have watching the farm know what they are doing, but Id sure like to be here. Commence day 141.

Dots day 143 is today. L9gs are relaxed but finable, no udder progress.

Daaaisy.... i checked her ligs this mornjng because her tail head seemed hollow. I have to think hard about them to find them. They are there but barely :/ whyyyyy when I am going out of town!!

I went back through this thread and found stuff about Daisy. Her 'pattern' seems wholly honest. I was a bit distracted by the whole Gardenia thing. As my memory serves me, once those ligs started going, they were gone gone. No screwjng around. Thereafter, it was 46 hours until kids on the ground.

So, here is Daisy today, full rumen as well. Cant go by the udder as she was still nursing rose until 5 hours ago. Can barely identify ligs, only at the bottom.

You can actually SEE kids in this photo. I felt her side and its a squrimy, tight wiggly mass.

Guesses on how many, what and when?

3 possible fathers... one of which I will be able to identify kids as all his offspring have his patterning... otherwise, i will assume the kids are from my blue eyed buck even though the other one is gone, just to be safe.
