| "bagging up" |
The countdown to kidding has begun. The first due date is March the 23rd and several of the does are really "bagging up". I will be keeping a close watch for signs of labor. Normally a doe in labor will separate herself from the herd and pick a spot to kid. Our does are not confined to the barn when they kid and usually do a pretty good job choosing a protected spot. There are several first time moms this spring and it is always interesting to see what their mothering skills will be like. Some does are very protective of their kids and don't want anyone to get close.
