That is awesome. You can see he clearly loves having that job. How sweet

 

[Bonny]

Hows Izzie?

 

[jessj]

Izzie is the same. No development in the udder department an ALOT of foal movement. I sat and watched her for a while yesterday. I will try to get some new pics today if it isnt dark when I get home!

 

[jessj]

Well...it was dark by the time I got home yesterday. I will take new pics this weekend.I did help with a delivery today. My step mom (who is a very sweet lady, but not exactly a "farm girl") called me in a panic. One of her goats was in labor and having a hard time. So I left work and rushed to her house. The doe had delivered the head, but the baby was stuck. I quickly layed her down and had my step mom hold her. The baby had a leg hung up so I righted that and the little doeling popped out! Then she delivered another little doeling on her own. It took a little while for the first one to get going, but they were both up and trying to nurse when I left. Here are pic of Sally and the new kids. (the one that I delivered is the one closest to the camera!)

Awwwwwwwww

Awww they are soon cute, I've been wanting a goat for soooo long. I'm very jealous lol

 

[Bonny]

Awwe! I am jealous! I have to wait til Feb for my goatie kids.

As for the udder department same here no changes......

How many days is Izzie now?

 

[countrymini]

They are so adorable. What type of goat is she?

 

[jessj]

Bonny I THOUGHT Izzie was due a couple of months ago...so not sure when she is due now. She was pasture bred and I was going from the last time that I saw her in heat.

The goats are really cute! We have a little nigerian dwarf doe that we are getting ready to breed to kid in the spring. This doe is 3/4 nigerian dwarf 1/4 alpine and she was bred to a nigerian dwarf buck. ND's are known to have up to 4 or even 5 kids at a time....usually twins or triplets though. I am not sure that she was done kidding when I left..possibly one more. I told my step mom to watch her and call if I needed to come back.

 

[Wings]

VERY cute!

 

[Bonny]

I had a maiden mare that I watched for almost a year once, was told she was in foal, but she was only early so I watched and watched and watched, even Vet told me Christmas, she finially foaled late April! LOL

 

[countrymini]

lol, you musta almost gone mental!

 

[Bonny]

Yep it was INSANE...Had a lot of support so it was ok. Sure was excited when the foal was born though!

 

[jessj]

My first mini had a huge tummy and even had an udder with milk....I watched and watched and waited and FINALLY realized that it was a false pregnancy! That almost made me crazy! I did get some Izzie pics today. Will post them in a few!

 

[jessj]

These pics were taken today. No progress in the udder, but still lots of BIG fetal movement. I moved Duchess in with Izz today. There were a couple of tense moments, but they are getting along great. I am going to post a few pics of Duchess next. I am seeing a little bit of movement that could be foal...nothing like with Izzie though.

 

[jessj]

This is Duchess. Pics taken yesterday and today....it has been rainy and wet and muddy. We arent 100% that she is in foal, but she has been running with a stallion and her previous owners havent seen her in heat since last april. I don't think that her tummy is big enough to be that far along. She is a short little mare...only 29.5". What do yall think? (she is "stretched" in the second pic trying to get a treat from my hubby thru the fence!)

 

[countrymini]

Such a pretty girl.

 

[jessj]

I love Izzie's giant lopsided tummy. Sometimes the foal will get in a position so there is an absolutely flat spot on her side..so funny. Izzie is the girl that came to me underweight and mistreated. Her previous owner was a tall thin man and I dont think that he beat her, but he wasnt exactly nice to her. She still has issues with my tall thin-ish husband. She came up to him and took a treat out of his hand on sunday and he was so excited. She has been with us for well over a year now, and it is very rare that she will let him anywhere near her.

 

[countrymini]

Or better still, get him to EAT all the food. The change in his shape horizontally should calm her down lol
