Hello, been awhile. our Maggie was bred may 16th 2020, AI method. HAS not had a cycle and has developed a nice udder. I am thinking Feb22? She has not been confirmed.

That's looking good! I'd say it won't be long before calf and milking.

A family had a full jersey on CL for a great price, close by. Had been milked for 4 yrs but now dry and open. What a temptation!!! But I'd need to AI, wait and didn't allow myself to call ! Instead, I went out and loved on my wonderful goat girls! they will start kidding in another month and provide way more than I need. Appreciation.

We have goats too! Had our first babe born last year.

Avg gestation is about 9 months, but add a couple weeks if she has a bull calf. No idea why it takes longer, but bull calves are pretty consistently longer gestation.

Looking closer... but could still be a few weeks out.

I found this great article... for beef cattle... but a really informative read:

Calving Time Management for Beef Cows and Heifers - Oklahoma State University

Descriptions on the types of calving, the different types of abnormal calving conditions and how to handle those situations for a successful calf delivery.
