@frustratedearthmother thank you,I will have to try both ways of feeling for kids and ultimately just have to wait...

Well she did not kid but has since been vet confirmed bred to the buck I recently sold should have kids jan-feb from her

She is getting big!

You'll have to start a kidding thread soon! They are always so much fun!

 

[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

Yeah I will. How soon before kidding does one usually start a kidding thread? I don't know when she is due exactly, if she bred when I first got the buck she would be due Jan 14th last possible date would be March 13th (give or take) I did notice today her udder is slightly larger than normal, it jiggles more than normal when she walks lol (hate to phrase it like that) and it looks just a little bigger

Awsome thanks, I wasn't sure if there was a certain time to or not (certain time = how far in gestation)

To answer your original question, I have heard that the Flat Rocks bloodlines have a lot of slow-maturing goats. I have a buckling who’s grand-dam is from Flat Rocks, and he indeed is quite a slow maturer. Both his sire and dam are heavy NDs, but he weighed 23lbs at 6 months old. He only started being interested in the does at 6-7 months old. His two triplet brothers are the same size as him and also late bloomers with the does.
