After 5 foaling seasons and only ONE filly, I was starting to just assume I would only ever have colts :no: I've gotten so I don't even check for a while!
I went to dip this little "guys" navel in iodine and .. what's this?... no "equipment"!!! Dare I hope! :new_shocked: I check and sure enough, a FILLY!!! But that can't be because the filly fairy doesn't visit our farm! :no:
So I check again .. sure enough. Still a filly!! :new_multi: Bouncing off the walls I'm so happy! Left for work and while I'm there I manage to convince myself that it could not possibly have been a filly - I must have imagined it... :no: so as soon as I get home, I'm embarassed to say, I checked again
: Sure enough, STILL a filly!
As a friend said, one nice overo filly makes up for 10 colts! LOL :aktion033: :aktion033:
I have the dam up for sale.. now I have to resist the urge to keep her and try for another! :bgrin
