Nope.. things are seeming to move backwards. No serious signs that would make me think she is going to foal out today. Maybe tonight.

The goats are in a 4 acre area and are so fat eating up all the weeds. They have done such a great job for our property but we have downscaled from 15 down to 5 this year so they just can't keep up with the weeds. We will try to mow, tractor it all up and replant. We live in an area of a very...

We have had mosquitoes hatch off and on here this month. I was worried to spray Jewels belly with spray but read that apple cider vinegar works well to repel mosquitoes. I tried it and Jewel didnt mind that smell at all. It did work temporarily to keep the mosquitoes away for a night. It is...

Oooooo things are dark pink now and udder teats are pointed more straight down. Yep.. real close .. She has a ravenous appetite.

Ha ha .. I keep trying to follow posts that have mares due seemingly close to mine. My horse is named Jewel too. I think you found my thread on her.

Jewels udder is finally looking a bit bigger. Today.. I saw Jewel snatch a wad of Creeping Charlie up in her mouth through the fence trying to get at the good stuff in the fenced off area. Ahhh.. Weeds are growing everywhere here making me so very nervous. The goats have hunted every new pale...

We had a fenced off pasture that we planted with a safe horse pasture seed a few months back that we planned on using for our mare and her foal when the time comes. The grass has been choked out by so many weeds- mostly by the Creeping Charlie and a clover type. I know we should have plowed...

We are both so close to having our little mares foal. I took both horses off the field grass for fear of fescue and have them in their dry lot area(about half acre) Now that is starting to sprout up some form of grass which looks mostly like bermuda and they are nibbling at any little green...

Love the colors on your mares. Wow.. Koalah sure looks huge in her belly.. My word!

Awe.. this was so exciting to see the video. Good job on filming it so well. .. What a cutie!

He must copy the dog a lot when he is sitting. That is so funny.

Hilarious.. love this.

She is tied with Jewel in udder development. Slow progress.

Wow that was a tough time.

I cleaned out all the straw beddings and scraped all the yecky saturated stuff off the ground. Lots of good straw bedding is down. Jewel has been rubbing her bottom so hard on the fences. Her poor tail! She also has been switching her tail back and forth and kick stomping her back feet. I think...

She did keep me awake last night as she decided to lay down to rest instead of stand. Fortunately... it is nearly beneath my bedroom window where I can just peer out and see what she is doing instead of going all the way outside in middle of night.

Here are photos from today. Not sure what Jewel is up to. She doesnt seem to be looking that ready to do much of anything to me. She badly wants in that green grass pen she is standing by. It is the planted horse pasture mix and is quite small. We will put her and baby in there after she...

the difference with goats.. I had them I guess trained to birth out in the middle of the day. If I fed them at night between 7-9, they were sure to kid either in morning by 11 or early afternoon. In 3 years, we never had a night birth from any goats. Now horses.. they seem to do their own thing...

So very glad we took a year off of breeding the Boer goats. I was so exhausted last year. Triplets and more triplets. It was a rainy windy stormy year that blew the goat huts completely over. We had to go out in the storm.. gather up babies and stake huts down. Never had any babies die here even...

I actually rested well last eve and did check on her 3 or more times out window. She stood up all night. I saw no changes all day.. her udder actually shrunk down some.. it is not tight and needs some more filling. This morning .. still light pink in the back end, BUT this eve... it was a darker...
