Pregnant goats. First timers.

Still no babies!

Stand behind the goat. Clasp your hands together under her belly. Now push up sharply. You should be able to feel the kids when they come back down.

I forgot to say to place your clasped hands right in front of the udder.

 

[Goat Lover 3]

Ok, I will do that. I'm just afraid of hurting the kids!

 

[cassie]

The kids are well protected. Don't be rough. The object is to just make enough of an oomph on the belly to cause the kids to bounce up.

 

[Goat Lover 3]

Oh, ok!

How is she? Is her udder getting any bigger?

 

[Goat Lover 3]

Nothing yet! This is taking forever! Her udder is getting a little bit bigger. Her stomach is getting bigger too.


If you look at the older photos, her udder is a lot lower.

Tilly is in heat. So, she definitely isn't pregnant. I am going to wait until she goes in heat again and then I'll put her in with Buddy. Lilly isn't getting any bigger, her udder isn't filling out either. Are you all sure she's pregnant???

if she isn't getting any bigger and her udder isn't filing out then she probably isn't pregnant.....when we had goatswe left the billy in with our nannies at all times.
