Huybers Utopia - Nellie and Ladybug Due early to mid april

[cassie]

Hmmm great comparison Renee, if she decides to follow last yr she should fill just a little more

Can't wait to see her little ladybug

 

[weerunner]

Oh I'm sure she's got quite a bit of filling to do yet. She will get glossy black, rubbery looking and rock hard udders. But it so nice to see slow and steady progress. I'm pleased with the pace she's set. Nellie on the other hand is a 2 day udder maker so I just knw that her udder will look pretty pathetic until a couple days before she foals. So I dont fret on her too much until that happens then I know it is serious.

 

[Eagle]

Isn't Nellie the one that starts slow and then overtakes they others?

 

[weerunner]

Nellie started with nothing and whipped past everyone in the last few days last year. That's why I dont worry about her until I see a 'real' udder and then I know she means business.

 

[cassie]

oh yes I remember Nellie taking us all by surprise lol. nice steady progress is good

won't be too long and Solomon will have a buddy or two!

 

[Eagle]

I can't wait

 

[AnnaC]

Things are sounding very exciting - cant wait to see this baby LB!!

 

[weerunner]

More of the same slow progress happening here with LB and Nellie is waiting for the unseen force that determines when she will go. LB is at day 296 and Nellie at day 313, Both mares have lots of milk to express (from previous pregnancies) but it is clear and non sticky. No need to start testing it yet.





I'll let you guys figure out which one is which

Have a good day everyone!

 

[Eagle]

I see Penny is visiting LB's quarters this evening, is there a pyjama part going on?

 

[weerunner]

I often put Penny in LB's stall to get her out of the way of what I'm trying to do. You'll see her quite a bit until LB is really close and gets too grumpy to let her 2010 daughter visit.

Geesh Renee how can you remember that that is Penny, you have an amazing memory. Actually I'm breeding Penny with Taylor this week, can't wait to see what I get out of that, have been waiting 3 years to see what they can do together.

Ok, so I moved the camera in LB's stall down on the advice of the Marewatcher admins, but I'm not sure you can see anymore now than you could before. What do you all think.

 

[weerunner]

You got it Diane. And I'm predicting she'll foal on april 9th, judging by her udder. Just for fun, let's see if I'm close to right.

 

[Eagle]

Ok I say bay Colt on the 2nd of April

Amanda it is easy to remember Penny, I have been planning to come over an steal her ever since I first saw her

Cam is down!

 

[weerunner]

Thanks EAgle, I restarted it.

 

[atotton]

I'll say the 5th of april.

 

[Eagle]

There is my girl Penny

You could post her to me once Taylor has had some fun, what do you think Amanda?

The girls were easier to watch last night, did you leave an extra light on ? I can't wait for an update

Happy Saturday

 

[weerunner]

I moved LB's cam down and readjusted the lighting setting on my splitter so that is why you could see her much better last night. I'm thinking about moving Nellies cam down too.

Not too much to update this morning but Nellies milk has begun to be sticky, so she may start making udder changes soon.

Here are the two girls ****ies this morning.





Penny's done breeding for this heat anyways Renee. You can come and get her LOL

 

[Eagle]

Diane fill up the jet cos my girl is coming home

LB's udder is really get big and Nellie is moving fast too, you could be having a foaling frenzy again

 

[weerunner]

For anyone who doesn't know the Penny that Renee wants to steal from me. Here she is, she is Ladybugs' 2010 foal.



Was bred just this week to Taylor man (in my avatar), so hopefully next year we'll get to see what those two can produce.

 

[Eagle]

Don't show her or they will all want her!

 

[atotton]

Haha, we might have a fight Renee.

She's a pretty girl.
