Bag Strutting - This is one of the better signs for estimating eminent labor. The top picture was taken 8 days prior to kidding and the bag looks full but the skin is not a shiny texture like the bottom picture. When the bag is strutted, the skin is as tight as it can get and the skin will be very shiny. The dirt on the bag in the bottom picture is not part of the strutted sign. That is coming from another sign, "streaming", which will be discussed later. The bottom picture was taken 2 hours before she went into labor.
The bag changed from looking like the top picture to the bottom picture in about 3 hours. We have had a few does that did not have a strutted bag prior to kidding. The bag filled up after kidding, but that is not the norm.
When we see the bag get strutted like the bottom picture, we expect labor to be very soon and will start to watch for three other signs Streaming - This is an extension of the "losing the plug". The difference is in the amount of creamy mucus coming from the doe. This picture was taken at the same time as the "bag strutting" picture which was 2 hours before labor started.
You can see the large amount of mucus streaming from the doe is what caused all of the muddy dirt on the bag. One hour earlier, there had been not streaming like this. It had looked similar to the "losing the plug" sign. When we see streaming like this, we expect the doe to start labor within hours at least.
We have seen does stream like this for several days and not go into labor and we get concerned when this occurs. Especially if the mucus changes to a strawberry color. That is normally a sign that something is wrong with the kids inside.
I want to be alone - When we see a doe going off by herself, we get our kidding tools ready. We expect labor within hours at least. Especially if we have seen strutting and streaming.
Soft Talking - Another sure sign of eminent labor is when the doe starts baaing very soft. This is a different sound than she normally makes and much softer. She will also be looking back at her stomach quite often and can't find a comfortable place to stand or lay.
Pawing the ground - The doe will start pawing the ground like she is trying to clear a place for kidding. Labor and kidding In order to know if a doe's labor is going normal, you need to observe does kidding.
The following are a general step that does go through in a normal delivery. One should have to identify the initial labor when the doe starts labor pushes. Do document the starting time for later evaluation if things are progressing ok. Watch the vulva during the labor pushes to see if it is trying to open up and extend outward.
It is extended and opening up. There may be a dark colored bubble, inches in diameter, initially come out and erupt with liquid being released.
In some births have no bubble comes out. If the doe continues to have labor pushes for hours and the vulva does not show signs of extending and trying to open, we consider there is a problem with the kid being able to come out properly. They may not be positioned properly or the cervix may not have expanded sufficiently to allow the kid to enter the birth cannel. It is likely that someone, vet or you if you know what you are doing may have to go inside to help.
A vet may have to do a C-section to deliver the kids. If the streaming mucus is or turns strawberry red color, there may be problems with the kids. There are several does have this and the results ended up being the kids were already dead. One of the first activities of kidding can be a transparent bubble protruding that contains liquids. This does not always occur but is a normal process in the birthing. The doe will go into labor doing pushes and groaning.
This transparent bubble will start to appear. She may get up and down during this period. Eventually it will burst and the doe will likely drink some of this liquid. A similar bubble may come out with the kid inside. If this is the bag with the kid inside, you will be able to see inside the bubble and one or more hooves or a nose will be seen. The first real sign we look for is some sign of a kid starting out the vulva.
The picture to the bottom shows a single hoof starting to appear. If you look closely at the hoof, you will be able to tell if the kid will be coming out front first or rear first. If you see the top of the hoof, it is head first.
If you see the bottom of the hoof, it is rear first. Both are ok. We want to continue to observe the progress to ensure the kid continues to move outward. Don't try to rush in too soon to help. Sometimes it takes a little time for the progress to occur. No progress.
We will step in to help by trying to help by carefully pulling on the leg during labor pushes. If you doe is not tame or gentle, this may be difficult to do. If she continues with no progress, someone vet or you if knowledgeable will need to go inside to determine what is blocking the progress. It is likely that the kid is not positioned correctly as shown to the right. The picture in the down shows progress is being made and there are now two legs and notice that the tip of the mouth are at the exit.
We noticed that both legs are front legs and the head is in position with the front legs to come out properly. As the head or nose starts to protrude, we watch closely to see if the kid has started to breathe on its own. If it has, we want to ensure that the nose area is cleared of anything that may not allow the kid to breathe. Sometimes we have a doe kidding and part of the head will start out and then as the doe moves around the head will go back in.
We will watch closely for continued progress. Many times you will be able to see the kid's leg move around showing it is ok. The hardest part seems to be getting the head to come out. After the head is out, the rest of the body should come out quickly.
We step in to check the kid has nothing in the mouth area and clear anything away from the head. We will watch for breathing signs and look to ensure the nose area is clear. The kid may still be in the sack and we will step in to get the kid out of the sack and breathing. Head and feet come out but no additional progress. We have had a few kids that got their head and feet out but could not make any additional progress.

In Minecraft, the goat can be milked by using a bucket, which produces a milk bucket. Milk buckets are generally used for baking cakes and removing any status effect. Goats can be bred using wheat.
They will actively follow the player if they are holding wheat, as long as the player is within 10 blocks of the goat. Also read: How to tame a goat in Minecraft. New User posted their first comment. Log in. Minecraft Feature.
