Yep. I use the words 'Down' and/or 'No' firmly while gently pushing them down. Do not pet them when they do it or say down/no in nice/soft voice. Once they get down, praise them, pet them, or give a treat, but petting usually is better. I especially like to train them with the Down command...

Okay, you sure could be right! I have ND's but they've usually given me trips & quads and kid on Day 140- something. : ) Course, I did have a doe kid twins one time on Day 141!! Yep, I think you've got a point. ;)

All goats are pregnant for a total of five months or 145-155 days. Goats that have 3-4 kids(such as Nigerian Dwarfs) tend to kid nearer 145-148 days . Your standard does tend to kid around Day 150 or past that because they have 1-2 kids. :)

She is pretty! She looks in really nice condition at 13 years, too. :)

Is he going to be staying for a bit or is it just a day visit? I'd make sure that he's had a CAE test to make sure he hasn't got CAE; same for your does, too. Does the buck have a reputable owner/ breeder? Does he look healthy (eyes, hooves, general appearance)? Maybe having a memo service...

Love those two middle photos! You've got some handsome goats. Have they ever gotten any ribbons? :) I'd like to show someday, but it hasn't happened yet. I have a small herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats, one buck, one wether, and three does, plus the kids we haven't sold yet. I also have a 3/4...
