They can come and go multiple times before kidding - so it's just a rough estimate, not an exact science. When they are completely gone and stay gone they're usually close - other signs are the bag being "tight", dropped belly, and posty hind legs.

Exactly, lol! I just use them as an easy way to know when they're getting near and I should start keeping a closer eye on them.

The posty legs have been the most reliable in mine - but not all goats are the same.
