After just telling Heide in my comments that I don't think Semi-Sweet is going to kid I went down and put her in the milking stand. I sat with my hand on her in a couple of places and waited for a kick. There were a few small jabs and a few rolls but nothing that I could specifically say was a kid kick.
But she does have milk. Don't get too excited because she did last year as well and wasn't pregnant but I do have a plan. I plan on waiting until way after her due date and if no kids come I'm going to start milking her. This should encourage her to milk more.
If I can just get enough every day for my coffee I'll be happy.

Hope it works for you, fresh goats milk, yumm!
Good luck!! Fresh goats milk is GOOOOOD... but day old taste's like the goat smells to me.. LOL
Hello, I know you don't know me, but I pop in sometimes to look at your blog. Anyhow, your milking idea will probably work! I did that with a goat that miscarried, and she produced tons of milk. Good luck.

But I do know you Remudamom...you're the lady with the cute pony!
Since her time has come and gone I am going to try and milk her. I'll let you know. She had a full blown false pregnancy...all the symptoms without producing a kid. She even went through all the signs of labor starting. Weird.
