We just started with homesteading this year. We have 7 does and a wether. We were told that the does had a buck visit (break into) their pen back in August and September so we are hoping to see kids from all of them in the coming months.

    Hi there Stephanie!

    Congrats on your new adventures- boy, starting out with 7 pregnant does as a new homesteader is really taking the bull by the horns- LOL!

    Miniature breeds are pregnant about 145 days and standards about 150. So if you have miniatures exposed on August 1st, that would give you a due date of December 29.

    If you want to know for sure, you could have your vet draw blood. Sometimes that is better than sitting and waiting without knowing =)

    Here are some articles for you. You will find ALL SORTS of things here.

    And here is a great course to get ready for kidding. You will learn what to look for when birth is close =)

    I see that you are located in Gonzales TX! That's near me. I am in Paige, just on the other side of Bastrop.
