Should I Send This Card Or Not?
ChatterBank7 mins ago
I have a Boer goat that is about 2 years old. I had her bred about five months ago and she is supposed to kid in 4 days. She is huge, she has always been huge because she is basically a free range goat. She eats whatever and however much she wants. I am worried because she just looks fat to me. Of course I don't know much about goats. She hasn't made any kind of an udder and I am worried she may not be pregnant. Can you bump a kid in a goat like you can in a cow? Do most goats develope an udder prior to kidding? Should she be "springing" in her whoha? Please help.

Lankeela,
What I meant by "I don't know alot about goats" is that this is my first time actually kidding one. I am a dairy farmer, with alot of animal experience. The goats are a new learning experience and pets. Its not like the goat is in any serious danger because of my lack of specific goat knowledge. I was just hoping that maybe someone could give me some tips on how to reassure myself that she really is going to have a kid (Thanks Rainingfire4). Oh, you might want work on the way you phrase things, you really give a negative perception of yourself.
