Izzie's udder has started, so I am going to predict that Bindi's will soon as well and that she will foal on February 6th. (My dad Ronald and Ronald Raegan's b'day!) Come on Bindi!

Finally got grumps to let me have a peek at her hoohar. Her udder from this angle is even more dismal and for my effort I was rewarded with 5 seconds of gas.

Bindy's tail is still a bit resistant this morning but either side of her bottom has gone all squishy yay!
Not sure how to read her hoohar, I know its supposed to go elongated before she's all ready but I'm not sure what that looks like. Here it is again this morning. Puckered and a bit of pink showing. Udder looks slightly more interesting today.

Oh goodie haha. Our goats sometimes do it but its one of those things they do the day they go into labour or also a month before lol. She's a grumpy poo this arvo again, jumping and squealing when I try to go near her rear end. Maybe I'm not being dignified enough about it

Yeah my goats also stomp the ground the day they go into labour too.. But generally when my goats start they finish Unlike Miss Molly !!!!

Too funny!!
She could hold off for another month, or even longer. She was with the stud for 4 months so the options are endless untill she shows some serious getting close signs, like belly dropping or even an UDDER WOULD BE NICE BINDI!!!!

As already mentioned (probably too much
) no udders but some other odd behaviours changes today, apart from the digging. She kept stopping mid graze and would look up and stare for minutes on end. Tail is a bit busy as well while she's standing there.

Can mare's have milk without having fuller udders? Bindi today has dried yellow stuff all in her teats. Her udders are about the same but the bulge between her tummy and udder is bigger, can see it when she's walking around. I'm not going to try to see if there's milk, I'd be told in no uncertain terms that that is not allowed. Anyone seen the dried stuff before??

hmmmm could she have found some taller flowers to rub on ?? LOL To me it does not resemble any milk that my mares ever made. one of mine did have green all over hers one time but I realized that she had eaten some grass and then must have had a itchy boobie cause she left green slobblers all over them!! Yuck!!

No flowers that tall unless she's been squat dragging like a dog
I just showed hubby the photos and he goes, "yeah the goats get that when they're getting closer to kidding, its dried colostrum". So I'll just assume its just part of the progress or the kids have been feeding her bananas and she's had an itch there lol
I never noticed how tiny your foal is in your profile pic Jax. So cute!
Your hubby is half right! It is not colostrum, just a secretion of the substance that is in the udders at this stage - I think it looks like the stuff you can get in the corner of your eyes sometimes after a night's sleep!
Also, I wouldn't be trying to get 'milk' from the udders until they are at least around half full (we never try for milk at all) as the 'pulling' on empty teats/milk bag can cause damage to the delicate internal workings - can break small blood vessels, quite apart from the fact that it will be uncomfortable for the mare.
Bindi is looking great an progressing just as she should.
