Breeding change... Dot is bred Oakley for June 9th. Guess she didnt take or never came into heat with painter.

Wow you are a brave soul to have a doe kid that close to your own due date!
Was certainly not planned LOL. She spent two months with Painter, must not have cycled, I never witnessed signs of it either but thats not unusual with these private dwarves. I have a great person on call for then if need be.

You are fortunate to have someone to call! My daughter was born 3.5 weeks early and I have no one to call for help with kidding.. So if I ever have another human kid, I'll be planning nothing for the last month, lol

Yeah... My 3 does I have now are so difficult to tell when they're in heat. So difficult!

I had one like that, and she was retired and fat so I had to listen to it every month! The others are secretive, lol

Congratulations on the news of the two legged kid, you will be busy with two children and the farm. I am so thankful not to be worrying about whether or not I will 'kid' as the same time as my goats...leaving that for the younger BYH members. :p

Good luck with all of it, and really sorry you lost the bucks.

While attempting to get some buildings mucked, I decided to get some belly pics.

Poplar - has substance in her udder and shes had nothing at all for months. I SO hopeful for these kids and desperately want a female heir from this pairing. She is my best uddered doe and one of my top producers.

Daisy, unknown due date, possibly not bred, though I think I saw a kick.

Rose - fairly certain she is pregnant and will struggle not to keep a doeling from this pairing now that painter is gone...

Pearl - no idea if she is bred for the witnessed due date, but I didnt know she was pregnant last year and she looked like this when she had twins, and she was smaller in stature then.

Lavender - I think bred, but again, no clue.
