Huybers - Buffy's milk is at 6.0! This has got to be it!

[weerunner]

WEll both girls have swollen, loose vulvas now, inside is purplish red. Both their milks are testing about 85% and just slightly short of the foaling range, we could be looking at foals anytime from now on in. They may wait until the milk tests are 95% but it's been my experience that anything at 85% or better is certainly inside the possible foaling area. Especially when you take into account the hind ends of these two mares. I'm a tad excited now. Unfortunately I HAVE to go to work tomorrow, so they gotta go now or wait another day. Hope they understand me when I tell them that.

Buffy's vulva today.

Amanda!! I hope your foaling goes great! Looks like you might foal first with both your girls!

 

[AnnaC]

Keeping my fingers crossed for smooth, safe foalings for both of them - it would be geat if they would hang on for tomorrow night, then you will have the weekend to watch over two new little people!!

Good luck!!

Carmel down flat... but it doesn't look like she is foaling at the moment, can't see rear end.

Amanda are you around?

 

[cassie]

little half roal and back sternal...

 

[cassie]

back down flat big stretch

 

[weerunner]

I'm here CAssie. I will be up for awhile just to make sure tonight is not the night. I 'm thinking she'll likely go tomorrow, and probably

Buffy too.

 

[cassie]

ok thanks Amanda. she was just doing a funny thing with her back legs... did anyone see was really odd!

 

[weerunner]

She runs in her sleep, just like a dog. She's a funny little thing. I'm just heading out this morning for milk checks. I have to go to work, so I'm hoping things dont look too close at this point, Willl update soon as I know more.

 

[weerunner]

Hi everyone, Buffy is now once again testing in the 85% and 1st pad of foaling range, so she will most likely foal tonight. Carmel is at 40% and the last non foaling pad, so hopefully she will wait until Buffy's foal is dry and nursing before she goes.

Udders are not rock hard this morning and vulvas appear slightly less loose than yesterday. I've got to go to work, so will leave the girls in for the day and will have them up at work. If you see something, use my work number as no one will be home. I'm 20 minutes from home when I'm at work, so if something starts, hopefully I'll make it in time, or it will be a quick smooth delivery.

Buffy has always been very good about waiting for me to get home before she foals. She likes the company.

 

[weerunner]

I got home no problem. In fact they are both just sitting there holding out on me. Buffy's milk is testing at 85% and in the foaling range on the mother Natures test strips, so it just has to be in the next day or two. I'll be up most of tonight (Friday) just to make sure if she goes tonight, i"m there for her.

Carmel is holding out until Buff is done I guess.

 

[weerunner]

I guess Carmel got sick of waiting for Buffy to foal, so now she is also testing ready to go! Should be a foal or two tonight. Here's hoping anyways, as I'm getting very tired and run down.

Congrats to Holly, who got a little filly from her mare Katie last night. I got to see that anyways, since I was up and MareWatching my girls.

 

[bannerminis]

All sounds very positive. I hope they dont keep you waiting too long

 

[LittleRibbie]

2 tonight!!! wont that be exciting!!!

 

[weerunner]

Both mares now have crystals on their teats, not wax yet, but a tiny step more and it will be. Definitely tonight! I should get at least one foal.

Here are udder pics.

[Bonny]

Whoo hoo come on!!!! Sent the filly fairy your way Amanda!!

 

[weerunner]

Congrats on your little girl Holly!. I'm wanting the spot fairy to show up tonight, if she brings the filly fairy too all the better. But I'll take whatever comes, just please let them come tonight!

 

[Eagle]

Amanda I am sending prayers that the Spot Sprite and the Filly Fairy get it on in your barn tonight

 

[AnnaC]

WOW!! They both look as if they will foal at the same time - although I'm putting Carmel about one hour before Buffy!!

Praying for two safe foalings and hoping the Spot Sprite gets to you even if he doesn't bring the filly fairy with him (but hoping he will!).

 

[weerunner]

Buffy had a bit of milk leaking out of her nipples a couple of hours ago, I wiped it away and it has not come back, but it is another good sign. I dont care if they dont go tonight, but I sure hope they go by Monday.
