It seems like only yesterday we were wondering if she'd even settled! <br /><br />Good question about due dates. Most Kinder breeders use the 150 standard size gestation. However, some university (I forget which) analyzed something like 10 years worth of Pat Showalter's goat records and came up with an average Kinder gestation of 147.5 days, IOW, right in the middle! But yes, mine have all been early so far (3 to 5 days) except Daphne who kidded on her due date (counting 150 days.) Only once have I had a doe go over - a Nubian and then her kid was huge. Early is better!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-13049981403823670922016-04-19T21:03:08.846-04:002016-04-19T21:03:08.846-04:00I'm just happy I can tell them apart!
