Yep, its me again! Her udder doubled in size since she began to build one Christmas Eve, she already got her birthing trim of her tail and udder and to me she has dropped...at least her hips seem more prominent and her belly is lower. Hope she waits til Tuesday afternoon...she'll be at 147 and Im off on Wednesday! Her ligaments are not as easy to find either and she's had a bit of the crusties on her tail.
What do ya think? Am I going to get babies this week?
I am really bad at this.. but I am going to hope yes!! Babies this week!! Yay! Go Binky . Enjoy your last kidding girl... watch out.. your mama's gonna put duct tape on your cha cha!!!! :ROFL:
I am going to throw a dart out there and say it will happen on Monday. I have three does that are all holding out on me. Mine do not have the bag that she does, but they do not always get one anyway. They are opening up so much that I am afraid that the babies will just slip right out. :greengrin:
Hee Hee!! Binky, I hope will give me a few more kids over the next few years, it's Bootsie that'll have the duct tape on her cha-cha after this kidding! Guess I have 1 too many girls with a "B" name :lol:
I just have this hopeful feeling that the second breeding Binky had was a false heat, I don't think she'll be able to hold out til the 28th, do you?
Well, she's had her supper and settled into her stall very nicely tonight. The movement in her belly is like little pokes everywhere and her pooch is so far out there that she's been pushing it against the wall! Hope she can wait a couple days.
She looks exactly like my girl, Daisy, as far as signs.
Udders are about the same - were supposed to be due the 28th, crusties on the tail (for 4 days now) major swelling in the back end, STILL EATING - agh! This is killing me!
The way it sounds Allison, you are gonna get babies first!
Ashley, I am so hoping she goes this week, we are having some wierd weather here, and it's gonna be in the 50s and 60s this week...ideal temps for winter kiddings!!
Her udder is very tight up front and bulged out in the back...is this normal? I'm used to nigi crosses and not dealing with a purebred udder and "conformation" is confusing...is she supposed to have such high attachment in the front?
Oh, yes! That is very good Liz. A snug attachment up front is a very good thing. And a high attachment in the back is a good thing, also. Do you have some more pics of it anywhere?
I'll try and get her on the stand and get a few...she is not happy with me at all after the clippers tickled her!
And thanks, She is high in the rear and very snug up front so thats a good thing?
Yep, that attachment is nice and snug in the front. It is still early to tell how it will turn out of course, but I would say that I would like to see it higher and wider in the rear. But we will see what it looks like after she kids!
Thanks, I am anxious to see what she'll turn out like, this is her second freshining, the first her kids died from the cold and I don't think she was being milked so she basically built an udder just to dry off shortly after. I was actually thinking there was something wrong with it, good to know that its what it should be. BTW...She has me back and forth on wether she'll kid this week, maybe it's just being impatient for kids that has me thinking every little detail is a sign. :lol:
At least Daisy looks un comfortable!! Binky just has the very swollen cha cha and bigger udder. She ate all of her grain tonite and went to town on the hay...Allison, deep breaths and take it hour by hour or even day by day! HA! Easier said than done..lol.
I would love to see mine, yours, and Alyssa's all go on the same day! That would just be awesome!
But, you know, I am now thinking, I don't know if I am going to want to get rid of these little ones, as they have put me through this much so far and they are the first babies born on the ranch - guess we will wait and see!
Well, Binky is just happily chewing her cud, she didn't even get up when I switched the light on. Just for my sanity and her safety, she goes in the kidding stall at night. As I mentioned before, Bootsie has turned into a real ***** towards her in the last month. At least this way she doesn't have to have her guard up while resting or eating. I know I'll be bald before the week is over and if she holds out til the 28th she will definately surprise me!
Oh you poor thing Liz! Binky. Why do you and Daisy have to do this??? AAGGGHHH!!! I sure hope she decides to go like NOW. That would be really nice. Yay! Go Binky! C'mon girl!
I hear you Liz about one goat turning into a *brat*. My Fiona turned on us on Dec 28th when we took her for ultrasound. SHe was great throughout the whole thing, until I went to wipe her stomach off with a towel, and now she is trying to bite all the time when you try to touch her tummy or udder. The little poo head.
I saw once when Daisy went to walk by her, she accidently rubbed her big belly on her and Fiona turned to snap at her.
I guess all those hormones do different things to goatie mommies as they do to human mommies!
YUP...Has to be the hormones...poor hubby has to go thru PMS AND GOAT WATCH at the same time!! Right now Binky has been down on her belly rubbing all thru the manure pile, sitting and then going to the fence to flag and tease the boys. Poor girl has the hormone thing pretty bad...still hoping she delivers by the 16th( extreme 155) Her cha-cha is stuck out at least an inch and a half beyond her tail which is cocked to one side, she's nibbling at the Christmas Tree and nibbling on hay....would be perfect if she did it tomorrow evening cause then I could be with her all night if need be...I'm off Wednesday.
Well, I do hope she kids tomorrow for you....I think we are all going nuts due to our girls!!! Ugh...I dislike the waiting game!!!!
