Okay, might be getting just a little ahead of myself, and I haven't posted here in forever - but we FINALLY have a positive ultrasound result! YAY!
My girls Pamela and Lacey have been in with our buck since March. They are Nubian mixes, and he is a Nigerian Dwarf, so though I witnessed them mating quite a few times, they would always come back into heat. After about the 3rd cycle, I put them on leashes, led the girls to a ditch and held them there head down until Darrell did his thing...lol.
Lo and behold...3 weeks came and went...no heat cycle! I couldn't be content with just waiting, so had the vet out to ultrasound. He couldn't find a definite pregnancy with Lacey, but Pamela is definitely in kid! Hoorayyyy!
Pamela is due 17th November...hey, I said I was getting ahead of myself. It's a long wait lol!
Lacey, if she is actually in kid, is due 22nd November. So a wait and see game with her.
I have 2 new does arriving on the weekend, that will be bred in November for April kids. SO excited - this is my first year kidding so I am all kinds of excited/nervous. But I will for sure be glad to get back to milking Pam!
