Lily is beautiful and Jacob looks so silky.

Apparently I should change the name of this thread to 'we almost did it' or 'we're trying to do it'. Lily was showing signs of heat yesterday, crying continuously, pacing fence line, tail wagging. So, I slapped her butt in the car again, drove her BACK to breeder for another date. Now we have to wait until July for our littles

On the up side, she was much more 'into it' this time. She stood nicely for him and so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I like to watch for a "good poke" and make sure I see one before we call it a day. To me, a "good poke" is when the penis hits the cervix, causing the doe to hunch her back and almost look like she's humping something. Usually at the same time, the buck makes one strong thrust, and sometimes even falls off. If you just see him do a "hit and quit" several times without one "good poke", then you may want to separate and try again later.

They are both nice looking goats. Sorry, she did not take. Give it another try.

Take pictures? No one on BYH takes pictures do they?

Well, it's official! The vet came last week and gave my Lily love a CDT shot and a look over. She's got a nice bag going and should kid within the next few weeks. We also bred her 'sister', they had a double date with 2 unrelated bucks. I am looking forward to some babies! Sooo excited AND scared at the same time.

Thank you!

No babies yet, but we're seeing some yellow discharge from the lady parts. I am squeezing in a quick vacation before the babies come and I'm tied to the farm. We are only away for 2 days, but pretty stressed that the babies will come while I'm gone. I cleaned out the 'birthing suite' and put down new straw before I left, according to the 'doe code' that should buy me another week, no?

Definitely take those pics- you will be sooo glad you did! Cant tell you how many times myself and others have looked back and wish we had!

And feel free to share pics of your girl and her 'baby daddy'!

So this is me 'Blarneyeggs' I tried and tried and TRIED again to load pictures from our computer, but it would not let me log in as Blarneyeggs. sooooo, I had to create a new account. Boo.

Still no action here, one of my girls was excreting something from her lady parts yesterday, but nothing impressive. I think I should maybe start a new thread? I hope I have enough posts to be able to post pictures by the time the kids get here.
