I saw Reese getting up & down but her down was sitting on her butt sort of like a dog or cat. For a brief moment I thought she might be in labor but nope. Now shez nonchalantly munching her hay lol.

Aww. Not sure if ive told you yet, but thanks for your yearly thread! It keeps me from completely loosing my sanity lol (watches Shadow Paints cam with left eye twitching). The mare I rescued a few weeks ago has been added to my thread, & I think she will pop before the week's end, which is driving me batty. She is giving a couple of early labor signs, but her milk isnt right yet & she isnt dripping or waxing (twitch). Anyways ill be glued to my comp for a while so hopefully I wont miss this one

. Good luck with her being a maiden.

BTW I was just wondering, on my 2 does that are prego: one I have absolutely no issue finding her ligs but with the other doe I do not think that ive ever actually found them, & ive been checking for weeks so I can get used to whats the norm for each goat. Any ideas why I cant find her ligs? Ive literally checked everywhere around her tail & below

.

ETA: What does it look like when the kids drop?

 

[The Wolf Queen]

Aaaaaaand, I missed it again

. He sure is adorable though!

 

[shadowpaints]

Who is due next?

 

[shadowpaints]

we have Casey due april 21, Tanner due april 31, missy due may 2 angel due may 3 its kind of a toss up, lacey and her colt will be going outside today then we asess who is closer!

 

[shadowpaints]

This will be tricky!! we have 4 mares due in the next 30 days!!! and one stall, so its time for musical stalls! who's ever bag is bigger, and has other signs will be the one in the stall for the night. which means there could be a different horse in the stall each nite.. i know crazy!

lets do some discriptions

First is Casey(Due 4/21 320 date), a 37 inch tall, 18 year old Silver dapple pinto mare. some of you may remember her from a few years back when we thought she was bred, but turned out to be open. Casey is a mare i rescued 6 years ago, she has a bad foot and the further along she is she gets a bit sore she is not overly friendly either!! when she foaled for me 5 years ago, she went 364 days from the day i picked her up and had a healthy silver dapple filly. Casey is bred to our senior stallion 'Mountian meadows Ds super tramp' tramp is a 32 inch black and white tobiano stallion.



Second we have 'Tanner' (due 4/30 320 date)a 37 inch Black, 10 year old mare (her dad is Tramp!) she has not foaled for us ever! we have tried 3 years to get her in foal and finally succeded!! YAY! she is bred to our 31 inch palomino pinto stallion, 'sierra golds kiwi cash' Cash is the sire to , tia (laceys filly from last year), laceys colt from this year, and twitch's colts Dash and Spinner from 2010 and 2011

Third we have Angel (due 5/2 320 date) Angel is a 35 inch bay roan 5 year old mare with appy characteristics, and a white stare on her forhead. she is a MAIDEN . she is also bred to cash!

Fourth- we have Missy (due 5/3 320 date) a blue roan 37 inch tall 12 year old mare. Missy is Angels Dam, and missy had Ava in 2010. Missy is bred to Tramp.

I do not expect any of these guys to foal on their 320 date. i expect closer to their 330 or so.
there will only be a mare in the stall at NIGHT unless some one is SUPER close, or has a really good bag.


Remember- Our barn our rules! We assist with EVERY foaling and kidding. We also keep the camera on unless the vet comes, then we turn it off. If you don’t like the way we do things please remember you don’t have to watch!
