I used to have 3 Nigies, but had to sell two of them because their udders were so small and my hands are too big. Ziggy has no rear attachments, so she has a saggy, baggy udder. Ugly but easy to milk!<br /><br />Sue, yes, I've seen them move and I've seen her belly take on weird shapes. Her udder is still soft. It's the thing I'm keeping my eye on!<br /><br />DFW, she easily could. :)<br /><br />Pam, I learned about it from the goat lists. :)<br /><br />Shannon, hello! This will be a big event, and I promise lots of photos. :)<br /><br />Jen, if I forgot to mark my calendar (in terms of visits to Gruffy, which is likely), then her next due date would be around May 15. I'm hoping for that one!<br /><br />Jocelyn, I was hoping to space my kiddings out, but when do goats ever cooperate with anything, LOLLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-82744976475372411712013-05-06T07:37:38.470-04:002013-05-06T07:37:38.470-04:00You're going to be busy, too!

She would bag up around the time she went into heat and yes, she had milk. The udder stays very small, though. It doesn't bag up like your girl is bagging up. It's just a tiny udder with a tiny bit of milk. Actually it's pretty cool. <br /><br />My precocial udder girl is due in June, and her bag is really big already. Really big. I am impressed.
