Wehner Homestead Kidding Thread 2018

[Wehner Homestead]

11pm update: ligs are back on Snowflake. Nellie’s are unchanged. Day 145 is 4/5 for Snowflake and 4/2 for Nellie.

I’m going to try to get some sleep and let them come when they come!

Still no babies. Snowflake’s ligs are gone again and Nellie’s are almost gone. Snowflake also has a bit of creamy, thick discharge. DH had to go to Michigan for the day for work so hoping nothing eventful occurs since we are waiting on the two goats and and Maxine!

COME ON I WANNA SEE BABIES!!!!!

 

[Wehner Homestead]

Me too! Lol

This crazy weather should induce them...it was 33 deg with snow on roofs and vehicles this morning. Tomorrow they are predicting tornado watches/warnings. It’s the perfect doe code (and cow code) to deliver during inclement weather.

Today is Day 145 for Nellie and Day 142
for Snowflake.

I forgot to mention that Snowflake’s prolapse is gone. It must’ve had something to do with how the kids were positioned. I just checked her again at 8:20pm and her ligs are gone again. Someone please tell me how long she can go on like this!!!

Edited to add: Today is Day 142. She’s a FF that has to be carrying multiples. She was a quad. Udder is full enough to bust and there is some milk in her teats. Hips are prominent. She’s much more jumpy than usual.

I’m also not worried sick about her (like my instincts knew something was wrong with my doe that needed the csection.) I just want to be there to ensure things go well. The human kids are getting anxious too. The two possible bred dates so close together has been like a teaser to them.

you probably know... this but she'll do this until she has the kids all part of the "doe code"

We are in the same boat waiting on 3 then Thursday a 4th doe is added to the kidding list. Of course we are to get snow starting tomorrow through Wed morning....

Thanks for the reassurance @Hens and Roos! Sometimes we just need to hear it again.

No kids this morning...rough weather going to effect lots on BYH though.
