So Ginger SEEMS to be obviously pregnant to me.

Read more…I have a doe on her first pregnancy. Thought the rest of you would get a kick out of her little story.
Bought her in early Dec. and she was supposed to be bred. She didn't come into heat, but then in mid Jan. she was acting like she was in heat.
Read more…just curious if any one else's doe has done this. For two days Annie has been mounting a younger, open doe and "talking" "bucky" to her. Not really blubbering just the "talking". Annie is so big she waddles and can't breathe right when she lays do
Read more…Hello I am new here but have been reading all the posts for a few weeks. About 3 months ago we purchased two wonderful reg. goats. After I had them for about 1 1/2 months (after their first heat, I think) we took them back to the breeder around the 2
