So my morning started with seeing 3 buzzards sitting on the gate of the pasture we're my goats are... First thought was "oh no the freshened and the kid died" so I go out in the snow in flip flops to check on my girls and they were all hunkered down with no mess on them talk about relief (and freezing).
Mom gets home this morning from working 3rd and asks is it possible for Cami to kid before mp (moonpie)? I said yeah they can each go anytime between now and March she said oh well Cami is swollen "down there" with a bit of discharge, I was like mom both of them have been like that for about 2 weeks lol
Will be getting udder shots today

So moonpie has gotten more standoffish this morning(usually in your pocket type) she came for a quick pet then went off and would NOT let me come up to her, (even taking pics was difficult because she was running off, she seems to be hollowing out around her tail (ligs are still present) I'm not sure if she has started "dropping" or not but her udder has not changed (or atleast significantly enough for me to notice)

Cami is become sweeter friendlier as the days go by....I think they had a "freaky Friday" situation happen lol (the movie where the mom and daughter switch bodies) Cami is becoming an in your pocket compared to having to actually catch her while she is on the run or eating to feel her ligs to waltzing right up. Her udder has not changed much either....
This is the worst part....waiting lol
Can you all see the change in her tail head or is it just my imagination?
Posting pics of moonpie taken today

I always find it amusing when they do a 100% change from how they normally are.
We have some Nigerians that don't liked to be loved on... but when they are about to kid they become super lovey- "don't leave me" cuddly.
We have some Nigerians that liked to be pet and scratched and loved on ...but when kidding time is close they are "hands off, don't you touch me, don't even look at me".

Then we have the Mini manchas and the Lamanchas that literally want to climb in your lap and kid. :rolleyes:
