Kaycee finally had her foal. she was at 369 days. ( pool test did not work with her.) i have been checking her milk every nite around 7:30pm. did not check the last 2 nites. May 8 was my wedding anniversary of 13 year. we had 4-h til 8 pm got home at 8:30 did the chores & check Kaycees milk, no change. got the 2 kids to bed & my hubby was being romantic. i got a drink around 10pm & heard a different noise on the baby monitor. ( i could not make it out.) so i went to the barn & looked in the window at Kaycee, here she way casted with her head looking at me. ( not like the stall is small, 18 feet long & 10 feet wide. ) i ran to the door of the stall & i see the foal has its head & front legs out. ( the sack was broke off the nose, & 1 leg was back too far, but was there.) i opened the door & un casted her & then had to help pull the baby out. ( the 1 leg was stuck) once the leg got in the right position the baby came right out. ( when i went in the stall to uncast her, i thought the foal was dead, was not breathing, but after the delivery it did start to move) then Kaycee got up & every thing came out. i had to tie the cord & cut. Thank God i know my sounds on the monitor & now i think i can talk my Hubby in getting a carmera for foaling.
But all is GOOD, here is the new Filly.
