Awesome, informative, and well done video -- thank you ! I have a pygmy that is nearing her time, and this video really explained a lot about things i had only read about up until now (EG: loss of tendons, contractions, etc.). You really did a good job at describing AND showing all this. THANK YOU !
Injoy your videos I'm a frist time breeder lol all i have is my buck Billy and my doe fawn hopefully we will have babies or baby the end of may been watching a lot of your videos been learning a lot so I will just keep watching thank you for them
Thank you for sharing such a precious video! I enjoyed that so much! I'm going to be experiencing this for the 1st time any day now and I'm so excited and this gives me an idea of what to expect. I'm not sure I'm going to get 4 though! Although I wouldn't mind :) your mama doe is beautiful!
I'm in the learning stage of owning dairy goats. I was wondering what you do once the herd is at full capacity but you still have to breed to get them to produce?
Thank you. I have two baby goats that died I believe after they were born. I’m still wondering what I did wrong. I wasn’t there for the births. Only one has survived.

No discharge? Did I miss it in the video? My doe is really close I think, I’m nervous about if she is or not, I’d love to get some sleep tonight. She doesn’t have any discharge, but she has a lot of symptoms. Suggestions?
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats, her due date is either tomorrow or the next day, our bucks owner wasn’t sure, she has lost her ligaments as far as I can tell. Thank you so much.
Good luck! They will be acting really different as well. Out of the normal behavior. May be off feed, more vocal, and really uncomfortable. Up and down pawing at the ground a lot.
Brock Meese Hello! My pregnant does get free choice alfalfa hay and alfalfa pellets. I never give grain when they are pregnant because it can make the kids too large. Once the kids are born I still give free choice alfalfa hay and pellets but begin to give them grain as well to help with the milk production.
This is good to hear - I also free feed alfalfa hay. No pellets though. I'm going to be introducing grain very slowly when she kids in about 2 weeks. I'm curious as to what brand and specific formula of grain you give your does who are in milk. Thanks for any help! juliarose@gmail.com
Julia Rose hello! Exciting to have babies on the way :). First off I will say good quality alfalfa will be your best friend for your milkers. It has 15-20% crude protein which is the highest of any hay variety. My girls always get free choice alfalfa hay and pellets. I love the pellets because I have found they keep them full longer. Almost like a slow release if you will. Happy full goats means less screaming goats. Grain I ONLY give to my milking does. I usually stick to Noble Goat Dairy Parlor. It has 16% protein plus zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt. I mix some brewers yeast in and some cracked corn as well. I always eye ball it and make a big barrel of it. so I would say 1 bag of Noble, 10 cups of cracked corn (just because they love it, not much nutritional value), and 2 cups of brewers yeast. Brewers yeast is a trick I learned a couple years ago. It helps with digestion of other minerals, plus ups the milk supply and butterfat. Hope that helps :)
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats my bad, putting collars on them. It was something we should have done already. Now we are breeding and before the babies join the herd I want to do that. Thank you! Youve been so helpful to me.
Enjoy your videos! Just bought my first goat. A pregnant Nigerian. I thought she'd kid within days, or so the lady I bought her from told me. But she had only had her a month & didn't know when she was bred. Now I've had her a month & still no kids. I think the ligaments are gone, but she's only about half bagged up. I've wormed her & given her baking soda as she seemed very bloated. She's friendlier, but still no kids. Anything else I need to do?
Just keep an eye. If her ligaments were actually gone she would be in labor and within a few hours you would see noticeable contractions. Is she bloated with gas? Or babies? Lol. It is absolutely stressful knowing ur goat is pregnant and having no idea when they will kid. If she is eating and drinking and pooping normal, she is fine. Sounds like you are doing good and keeping a close eye. This is about all you can do. As far as the bag, I have had does that didn't bag up at all until they went into labor. So not always a detector. Good luck and let us know!!
The hoof-trimming goat lady told me she isn't pregnant at all. Just wide & old. Like 10 yrs. Old. So sad. Bought two more does: a LaMancha milker and a 9 month old Nigerian. Either or both may be pregnant. Lol
Sorry to bother you on the weekend, but my nanny is about to kid for first time. Vet said she is ready but now she cant walk without help and seems to have been contracting for a couple days. Could it be possible that their cervix can't dialate? Vet has been here, etc. did sono. However she just moved Friday and we are trying to find another. Thank you.
When was the last time the vet saw her? Has she tried to push at all and their is a stuck kid. What do you mean she cant walk? No strength, stiff legs?
Depleated, week. Vet Gave her shots, etc and im supplementing. Vet came Friday and said just wait. Ive just never seen a vulva so extruded. Still trying to find another vet on call. Have pics but didnt want to post here.
1) The baby in the background at the beginning * ___ * 2) The babies' little coughs when you free them of the slime * _______ * 3) I wonder what they're saying with their little sweet squeals, especially just born 4) oh, their hops the next morning * __________ *
supriya sarkar - the pressure from the baby being pushed out. Females of all species who give birth to live babies use some of the same muscles they use for pooping to give birth it’s also why some human mothers unfortunately poop when they are in active labor and pushing.
How soon after birth did the kids feed? With four in the process of being born, does that delay the first feeding? Was CAMI able to nurse all 4 or did you supplement with bottle feeding? Great video. Thank you for the information.
She's feeding them all within 30minuyes to an hour. Sure, if labor to get tall 4 out takes longer then the first kids are eating a little later than the last but I have never had issues. Cami makes enough milk to feed hers and a few others lol
Why don't you put grass or hay for them to lay and there kids.dirt would be horrible and it get on the tits and just imagine the litte k I d's sucking for the first time it would taste horrible. I know I hat my two cats being dirty with grass I hate it I brush them 3-5 times a day.
It depends on how comfortable you are in getting involved with the births, as far as I’m aware they haven’t ever called a vet but obviously asked there goat friends for advice, I guess it depends on how bad the labours are and how comfortable you feel
I love how attentive and loving you are to your goats it’s wonderful to see
This is so beautiful! I cry every time I watch animals give birth!! Especially when you hear the babies start to cry!
Kudos to your son. he stepped in and gently stroked Cami to calm her and let her know she's loved. Family affairs are so important. ❤

Good job
Thank you for sharing such a precious video! I enjoyed that so much! I'm going to be experiencing this for the 1st time any day now and I'm so excited and this gives me an idea of what to expect. I'm not sure I'm going to get 4 though! Although I wouldn't mind :) your mama doe is beautiful!
Hi, my doe is due today but babies probably tomorrow. How many babies did yours have? Last year mine had 2 bucklings.
Their so adorable!!!!!!!
Thank you
Nice video
I have a goat that just had one baby shes bleeding from behind and her utters are puffed is this good?!?!
This was very exciting. I have several goats and every birth is fun.
Just love that spring loaded action
So adorable
Those eyes on the goats are beautiful
Very cute ....
Massive cuteness overload
Quads oh my have not yet had those.
I'm in the learning stage of owning dairy goats. I was wondering what you do once the herd is at full capacity but you still have to breed to get them to produce?
It really depends on what your after, but quality does and bucks provide income for hay and supplies while whether can provide meat for your family.
Thank you. I have two baby goats that died I believe after they were born. I’m still wondering what I did wrong. I wasn’t there for the births. Only one has survived.
I doubt you did anything wrong! Sometimes these things happen. So sorry to hear of the loss. Glad one made it though!

Do you know her due date? Feeling for the ligaments and if they are bagged up will be your best indication. Does she still have her ligaments?
They do discharge some. They may loose their mucus plug weeks before labor though. When they are in labor they will have slime.
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats, her due date is either tomorrow or the next day, our bucks owner wasn’t sure, she has lost her ligaments as far as I can tell. Thank you so much.
Good luck! They will be acting really different as well. Out of the normal behavior. May be off feed, more vocal, and really uncomfortable. Up and down pawing at the ground a lot.
Same with mine she could kid any day now and I'm very impatient and she's showing lots of signs but no discharge yet
So beautiful.
wow, she must be one busy mamma goat..how are the babies now?
BL Holland they are all doing really well! Healthy and happy :)

Yes! This is SO helpful! Thank you!!
V bro hi 8by8 dry
What were you checking for when the babies were born (other then the gender)?
Melisa MomOf2 I was checking to see if they were polled (naturally hornless) and moonspotted :)
Aww how cute
At about 4 minutes, it looks like she's chewing her cud...or is she eating? Will does chew cud or eat / drink during labor?
Oh yes! They do :)
Hi. Love all your information! New to goat ownership. Wondering if you can collar adult goats successfully? Thanks.
What do you mean by collar them?
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats my bad, putting collars on them. It was something we should have done already. Now we are breeding and before the babies join the herd I want to do that. Thank you! Youve been so helpful to me.
Lol. I thought so but wanted to make sure. I would still put them on for sure.
Thanks so much!
Do you supplement food for kids? if so, with what?
Division 2 our kids get bottles free access to alfalfa and mineral block.
There sweet
how much kid goat doeling im her in the philippines
Good
Sweet baby mine may be in labor we’re keeping a close eye on her

Blue Cactus Dairy Goats she's pressing her head into the corner alot. Good to know it takes a while & what the contractions look like.
Hoping it's soon for you!

Awe.. That's a bummer! Hope your other 2 are bred :)
Why is there no straw for them when birthing and all the goat droppings in the pens?Really interesting. You are doing good !
It’s not always necessary to have straw in the pen, the goats like to dig in the ground and it’s cool for them. They don’t have straw in the wild ;)
Does the polled genetics come from the dam or the sire?
In this breeding the dam was polled. One parent has to be polled to throw polled kids.
If baby not out properly what should i do
This video will explain different positions and how to assist if they are not properly presented :)

Tendons are showing a sign that goat is in labour...but the udder is not..as full as .will the goat is in labour or not..plz rply
The udder wont always fill up during labor. Ligaments are the only way to be sure a goat is in labor.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE GOAT BREED?
Nigerian Dwarf
Thanks for reply.
What, if anything, do you do about their umbilical cords ?
Rob Adams I snip them to about a half inch or so and dip in iodine.
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats hello why do you dip it in iodine?
It help dry it up and kills any bacteria.
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats sorry for my ignorance, but can i just cut it and throw it away? It’s my first time having goats. I am a little bit anxious.
No need to feel ignorant!! Here is a video that will help :) th-cam.com/video/-aogsdbwEno/w-d-xo.html
