6.30 am and our girl is still fast asleep. I am off to hit the hay too. Have a great day Cassie

 

[cassie]

Thank you all you lovely night watchers :bighug: Suzie's baby was really active this morning, I could see it moving from the other end of the stall LOL poor Suzie

I tested her milk, foal time test strips say 7.2 which she can stay at for a few weeks, I will retest in a week or when I see some more changes in udder, it is slowly filling... would like it to be faster but oh well

night Renee

she sure loves to sleep my little snuggle bunny,

"I'm a little concerned for Suzie today. She has been spending alot of time laying down. Is this normal for Suzie? Hope she's just resting up before she shows us that precious baby."

One of the ladies on marestare posted this the other day, I'm a bit confused, isn't it a good thing for her to be lying down like she does?? why would it be concerning??

hehe

 

[cassie]

our newest lttle calf, born Sunday morning, he is so cute!!!

oh an here is a pic of Suzie's udder RENEE!!! LOL she doesn't have much yet,

 

[Matt73]

What?! lol Really? No baby?!

 

[cassie]

LOL hi Matt73, No, no baby... well we do have a new baby on our property LOL but not the baby that I REALLY want... although our new baby is VERY cute hehe

Suzie has a real Pregnant walk about her now lol she is so cute to watch waddling around funny little girl!

 

[Equuisize]

LOVE that bebe cow! What a face!

Suzie seems to be happy grazing in her paddock...

Bag photo wasn't impressive but means little as they can change so quick.

Zoe's maiden birth she had no bag at all and still had her filly and plenty of milk quickly.

Good news is Suzie isn't getting further away from foaling....thank goodness.

Cassie your new calf is darling..whats his name?..how about Cashew?

did you get to see him born? I forgot are your cows dairy or milk?

Its harder to see Suzis udder with her fuzzies but it appears much smaller than I would think considering how round she is IMO. But heck, Peanuts is huge and I can hardly get a drop. crazy!!

Cashew The Calf...ummm..I think it has a lovely ring to it!!

Cassie and Cashew....yeah, I like it!!

 

[cassie]

Hi Nancy

Thankyou the cow that is his mum always produces really nice calves, I am hoping that he will be like his half brother a beautiful bull!! STUNNING but a guy broke into our property snapped the fence and our gorgeous bull, got out and got run over, he was only 8mnths n turning out very nice, it was very sad for us

Yeah I am a bit depressed about her bag situation... hoping that one morning I will go out there and her bag will be HUGE!! and then a few days l8r she will give me her foal... still waiting for that day though lol

oh well...

 

[cassie]

haha Heidi!! you make me laugh

:rofl

we can call him Cashew!!

He is angus he might get horns but hopefully not, his mum has horns but his dad doesn't so lets hope he takes after his Daddy lol

I didn't get to see him born, would have liked to I have seen I can't remember how many and I love it every time!!

Cashew it is then isn't he a spunky thing putting his head up at me and everything LOL

 

[Equuisize]

Oh that's awful about your young bull.....

'Cashew' looks like he might do you well....he's a very handsome baby.

Don't be disappointed about Suzie's bag....it can change in a heartbeat.

If Peanut doesn't hurry up Suzie may have her's first

 

[Eagle]

Morning all, thanks for the pics of Cashew, he is just adorable! Thank you also for the pic of Suzie's udder, I am afraid I am going to be mean and say that I personally think she has a longggggg way to go. I hope you don't get too upset Cassie as she will foal eventually but just not yet.

As for her sleeping a lot, I don't see a problem, she is very active during the day and she doesn't have any pain in her legs or feet so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[cassie]

Lets hope 'Cashew" does meet our expectations!! LOL

now we have Sidney, Samson and Cashew the bulls hehe

I hope your right Nancy!! everything else is looking really close, it is just her udder that is hanging behind LOL

 

[cassie]

LOL see I told you that I didn't want to show you tsk tsk and then you make me

well I am hoping that Nancy is right and that she will just got pop!! and she will have a huge bag n then a few days later she will POP again with a baby foal ...

its ok Renee, its a little upsetting as I want this little foal now but lets hope you have to

hehe

why do you think I haven't put any pics up here LOL I knew what you were going to say LOL

I know that she will foal when she is ready, I know that the foal is ok cos I always feel it moving!!

I just have to be patient and hope that you lovely pple will all be patient with me

I might get a bit depressed as well so please bear with me

 

[Equuisize]

We'll bare with you Cassie.

We all know how hard it is, the closer it gets.

These little mares are so individual and all we can do is

go by what 'our' mares have done and that is not necessarily

what Suzie will do or Peanut or any of the others.

In our case, Zoe never started a bag early until her 3rd baby and then she

developed a bag, prefoaling. Drove me nuts!

Sure keeps you alert and on your toes though!! Plus I am a worrier, deluxe!

But we'll hang in there with you and hold hands, cyber-ly

 

[cassie]

Thankyou Nancy your very sweet!! I will still keep you posted with what she does, any changes and such...
