As they get closer to labor the ligaments will become really soft. They will get an indent on both sides of their tail bone. The tail bone will raise. Becoming rounded up instead of its normal angle.

Fiascofarms website has really good pics on it. http://www.fiascofarm.com/goats/prenatalcare.html

To add, after checking her ligaments and if they're gone or mostly gone, I suggest watching her for 30 min to an hour. Is she pawing the ground? Laying down and getting up a lot? Arching her back? Talking more? Is she doing anything she doesn't normally do?

I was wondering if she had freshened yet. Exciting. Any other signs labor is getting close?
