As big and round as she is, doesn't seem to be room for an udder to develop... It will be dragging on the ground. Hope she stops messing with you and releases her prisoners like real soon!

I’m glad you like her but I won’t be parting with her. That dog is amazing! I am second guessing spaying her....

I believe it would be a tough choice. Pros and Cons for both.

She’s scheduled for Wednesday! I need to decide soon or at least decide to delay...
Diamond Update: Day 144: ligs deep. Found out that she waited until Day 150 last time and that she kidded her triplets with only observation and a little drying help. I’m guess I’ll get the mindset of this could go for several more days.
Nellie is being dried off to prepare her for her April due date. We have her down to once a day milking but we are still getting the same amount from that milking. We aren’t doing the “extra let-down” and I’ve finally convinced DH that she doesn’t need to eat her fill on the stand. We are now not emptying her completely during her once a day milking.

Diamond is starting to look like a pot bellied pig! If her belly hangs any lower, you will have to strap a skateboard to it! 
It's got to be driving you crazy!
Queenie is gorgeous!

She is too young to spay. Please wait.

I will! If you say so, I won’t hesitate to wait. Gives me more time to decide anyway. If we do decide to go ahead and have her spayed in the future, what age do you recommend?

I don't know if you've thought about this, but we give our does a "kidding clip".
Clip hair off of the udder and around the back of the legs.
Less hair for blood and birth fluids to get tangled in.
If you look at my thread I put up a couple of pics of our first fresheners that we clipped on Saturday. Clipped, gave CDT booster, selenium, and trimmed hooves.

I did a kidding clip on Diamond on Fri night. It was my first time clipping a goat. I’m used to clipping cows and pigs. I didn’t post a pic because I’m not sure how good of a job it is but I’ll share one. Let me know what you think...
While still on the stand...
The next day when she stood still enough to get another pic...
