We can only hope lol

Dad went out to check on newton tonight and came back saying be prepared when it comes it might be a still born because it's been in there so long.... I'm really hoping we got the due date wrong.... please let us have gotten it wrong I swear I felt it move this morning so ..... well we can only hope...

When was she with the buck?

 

[newton the goat]

Begin in of September to January. ... we got him as a companion.... to long to estimate again... we saw her get mounted early September so we assumed she was bred then when she started showing signs...

I wouldn't be overly stressed.

You most likely have the date wrong.

 

[newton the goat]

Reminder to self :next time I get a companion animal..... make sure it's either female or a wether


I really sincerily hope we got the wrong date, either way, from the development of her utter and other mannerisms she shouldn't be too far off....

I agree. You may have seen her get bred but maybe she didn't take and instead took on the next heat cycle. Don't stress too much yet!

Could be true enough. Thanks

If she was bred in early Sept she would have kidded in early Feb. and that didn't happen. They come into heat every 18-21 days so I am going to guess that she has 3 more weeks to go.

Poor @newton the goat ! I don't think she can take another 3 weeks of worry!


But ... math. If an early Sept breeding would mean an early Feb lamb, wouldn't the next cycle at 18-21 days be about ...now??
