When they dont look pregnant...

[Tanya]

I seem to have found the only 2 does that dont look pregnant even at due...in my area...every who sees them says no they arent pregnant....but its been verified that they are...(by multiple means)...


So my request is for pictures of pregnant goats that fooled everyone cause they didnt look pregnant...
Let the pictures rain..lol
I know I cant have the only 2.

Wish I had a picture... I once had a doe who not only did NOT look pregnant, she didn't have an udder to speak of and she dropped triplets. No muss, no fuss and an hour later she had a HUGE bag and was nursing all three of them... go figger!

She was a long, deep bodied doe and she was not the least bit wide...just deep.

One of the rare instances of no udder development before kidding...has only happened to me twice in my 25+ years of raising goats!

Mine have no utter so far either. The little one is due in 19 days.

I have a very full bodied Lamancha that a few years ago we didn't think she was bred. I snapped pics of her days before... nope not a sign... she did have an udder because she was still being milked. One morning came out and she had twins on the ground. This year a large single- we knew she was bred but she never looks it because she is always big.
Another doe, passed away now, but we knew she was bred but she was so tiny (lamancha again) we were pretty bummed that she was only going to give us a single... we were convinced. Came out in the a.m. AFTER checking ligs 8 hours earlier (INTACT) she had 2 on the ground and was spitting the third one out.
