[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

Well the soonest they could be due is Jan 13th or they could be due beginning of March.... They were with the buck from Aug 14th-oct 14th.
Yeah it does stink but I do have a vet that will do the blood work (cae, johnes, pregnancy test and so on) that is actually closer (5 miles from me versus 45mins) I just don't know how much more she will do, will have to get in there one day and talk to her
Cami is in the photos, she has gotten big too and I know part of it is rumen
There has not been any more udder development on moonpie, next to nothing on the other 2 does

Went and looked at the girls this afternoon and it looks like they have doubled in size lol
(Sorry for poor quality of Cami's photos, she wasn't sitting still and was standing in the shadow of my horse lol)
Yes I have a lamancha wether lol (loves to photo bomb )

I can not wait for kids! (Neither can my co-workers lol)

@Bayleaf Meadows thank you

Photos taken tonight, their ligaments are starting to soften! Cami has been holding her tail a little cockeyed lately can still easily feel ligaments on both does. Moonpie is starting to "hollow" out at her tail head (I'm starting to be able to get my finger under it)

How long generally after they begin to soften before they kid? (I know they need to be completely gone before they actually kid )

 

[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

I swear every evening when I look at the girls they are getting bigger and bigger, especially moonpie, I took a photo of her this morning and this evening and she is definitely bigger this evening

this morning at about 6:40 before breakfast (theirs)

6:40 this evening before dinner (theirs lol)
Still can't feel any kids though...
They are on good quality hay and I give my pregnant does a handful of grain on the stand.
Cami is big but not that terrible a difference noticed between morning and evening lol

It is fun to watch them grow.
As far as ligs- ours lose them just before... a few will start softening a week or so before. We go by ligs, udder, and most of all date. LOL We pen breed so we know the date.
