Smiles udder is growing finally and by passing Diamond and Ellie's. We are happy that finally one is kicking up in the udder development. They were starting to worry us. diamond and Ellie are sitting at day 331 today.
Lily has soft poops and lots of tail action happening at 800 pm cam time. if she continues to act different then we will move smile to the other large stall and give Lily the whole stall to herself.
Lily will have to stay in for the next week or 2. She has been fighting white line disease and with all the melting we are having an issue. She has it in both of her front feet and one back foot. I will be moving buddies in and out for the time that Lily will be stuck inside. The ones over night will be the ones that seem closest and then the others during the day. One stall will have no one in it on the cam.
The vet was out today and Ultra sounded the group. By the time it was all said and done I am only expecting 1 baby this year. Lily should be giving us a little foal! We couldn't tell by the US how far along that she was but the vet said a July foal is a possibility. I will be shutting off the cams until we get closer to foaling.
Yes, we do. We know how worried you were, and how you were a bit disappointed and upset when you thought they were all in foal, after such a hard year last year. I know how relieved you are!
It was so neat seeing the U/S on Lily. I saw the spine and heart beat. I also saw the umbilical cord floating around. The fetus just wouldn't turn over to see the head or if It was a colt or filly!
Yes, those ultrasounds are SO COOL!! Congratulations on having just ONE to foal this year. I'm so happy for you, and we believe this one should come off 'without a hitch' !!
