There are several seasons on the farm and now is the "waiting" season. It has been almost five months since the bucks were put in with the does. Kidding should begin around March the 23rd. Does are getting very plump and spend a little more time resting. As the time gets closer I watch for other signs that kidding is near. Normally the does udder will "bag up" which means milk production is under way. I always try to guess which doe will kid first and am almost always fooled. It is a very exciting time on the farm as we anticipate the new arrivals. There is some anxiety about first time moms and young dogs who have not been through a kidding season. Flash lights and weight scales all have new batteries...and so the waiting continues....
