I figured since we are only 5 weeks out from kidding that I should start a waiting thread!
Our first doe due is Hanna. She looked to have triplets or quads on her ultrasound at 45 days. Hoping it's twins or triplets lol. She had some lameness issues last year with only twins and I had to induce her. One was born dead. I'm hoping things will go smoother this year for her. I will most likely induce so she kids when I'm home in case of any issues. She is due September 13th. She is bred to Wild and these will be his first kids on the ground. She started developing an udder about 4 weeks ago.
Pictures from today
And Wild the buck she is bred to
Coyote should also be due around the same time but not sure if she took or got bred later. Hasn't had any udder development yet but looks bred. She is also bred to Wild.
The rest of my does are bred to Electro and their due dates range from October-January.
Lucy, Magic, and Freesia would be due end of October. All look to have twins.
Justice would be due in November and has at least twins on ultrasound. She is actually bred to Wild not Electro.
And then Flame who was supposed to be bred to an outside buck but aborted at 60 days. She has been bred back last week to Electro.
I'm also going to breed my younger girls for a batch of Spring kids. Haven't decided who will be bred to who though yet. Though I am leaning towards Electro for these girls.
Ohhhh yes! I would definately breed those last 2 does to Electro! He is amazing!
I cant Wait to see what you get! Your Does are great! Wow...im excited for you!
Thank you everyone! We are so excited about this kidding season. I feel that we have greatly improved our herd over the past year!
Magic is alreasy miserable but still has 2.5 months left. Hard to believe she's been in the diet/pasture only pen for the past two months. Don't think she dropped weight at all lol. She only had a single last year but looked to have at least twins or possibly triplets on ultrasound this year
Hanna is 4 weeks out now! She got her pre-kidding pampering today. And an ultrasound just because. If you look at the bottom right corner you can see a strong heartbeat on one of the kids. So far she has not had lameness issues so keeping my fingers crossed she won't this time.
Here's the video:
I saw what looked like 3 or 4 on ultrasound. Multiples for sure. That was at around 30-45 days. Now they are too big to count.
I saw 4 sacs. 3 for sure had little peanuts in them not sure on the 4th one.
I do have a question concerning Magic. She is only about 80 days along and has become a tad lethargic and off by herself. She seems to be laying down a lot and not coming in with the herd for food. Is it too early for pregnancy toxemia? She's huge already and I'm concerned. Temp was 102.2. FAMACHA is a 1. No bloating or signs of respiratory distress. No injuries or swelling in the legs. Hooves look great and are trimmed every 6 weeks. She will eat if i bring her in towards the food.
I went ahead and treated her with probiotics and the SQ vit B complex and she seems back to her normal self. Up and eating without encouragement. Thank you!
Poor Hanna is feeling a bit miserable in this heat. Can't say I blame her. I'm only 13 weeks pregnant but feel miserable as well lol. These pictures don't truly show how big she looks in person. Poor girl
Congrats on your pregnancy! Yes..she does look miserable. The heat is brutal. A fan really helps..just moves the air ..to give her a liitle bit of comfort. I usually put.frozen water bottles in their water ..and where they lay down. Some of my girls snuggle up to the bottle. Some dont.
