I just got my last doe bred today
(finally!!) and got her due date put on the calendar right off the bat.
Vital information! Goats tend to repeat themselves, even including the
time of day (or night) they give birth. Not always mind you, but
generally. I keep careful notes, so I will be well-prepared, and
hopefully no surprises.
(This pic was of the children and I at the Grand Canyon. It dates about 4 years ago, when we were free to travel!!!)
Here's the link mentioned in the subject line:

It's a handy 150 gestation day calculator. You type in the date of the
breeding, and push a button. It calculates the due date for you! Very
cool.
Well, it's back to brewing soups and teas. Hubby and I
are sick with some kind of yucky thing in our chests. He has been sick
a long while. I went and restocked my herbs and supplements, and bought
some
real, loose green tea. So...back to business.
