ATTENTION ALL PREGNANT GOATS PARTICIPATING IN THE #BabyGoatCountdown: Today would be a great day to have your babies, before it gets cold and snow-rainy. Pretty pretty please. (Especially if you can time it between Zoom meetings, that would be great.) Thanks, goats.
(I'm sure they'll listen to me)

Alice, the leader goat, appears to be in labour! But I'm not sure if she's at the "babies any minute" or "babies any hour" stage.
She's still chewing her cud, which on any other goat would mean the birth is still a ways off. But she is the most food-motivated goat in the whole herd. So who knows! #BabyGoatCountdown
Rearranged all the goats (and babies) into different stalls for the night based on who is most likely to kid and who gets along with who (there is some herd DRAMA). The temperature is going to drop dramatically overnight, and it's supposed to rain and then snow tomorrow. Lovely.
Still no babies from Alice... #BabyGoatCountdown
