Pregnant??

I have a nannie goat that spent 6 weeks with the buck from 1st of July to mid August. She has fattened up nicely and should birth in December of this year. After pasture rotation last weekend, when I bring them in to feed, after she eats she goes to the gate where the buck is and teases him and he does buck things and goes crazy things. Yesterday evening when she done this I turned her into the buck pen for the night and next day until evening feed. She looks pregnant and she wouldn’t stand still for him. I don’t know what to do for a pregnant test and don’t have a vet to do it now. Is this action normal for a pregnant goat or do you think she is not Pregnant at all. I’ll try to do pics in the morning.

Sometimes the hormone changes cause a doe to act like she is in heat. Some does will actually stand for a buck while still
pregnant. (not good!). Can you draw blood? You could send it in to a lab for a preg. check. Blood tests are the most
reliable.

If she won’t stand for him she may be pregnant.
If you can’t get a preg test, you can wait it out and 1 month or so prior to kidding she will form an udder. ;)
