New babies Comming soon

YIKES!

Good Luck!!!!

We aren't due until 2/22/09

Ok, were getting the JELLO GIGGLE as the called it, No, No, Sister, Not early this year! Cant hide them out as the vet has to see them when they are less than 48 hours old and must be certified of the birth to be in the Kentucky Breeders program..

Heres hoping that little sucker hangs on and wants to cool longer!
I dont want a Christmas baby.

Just ordered my IgG kit, she had not even better think about it before Jan. 1!

So the Kentucky incentive requires the vet to see them within 48 hours? Good plan to try to keep people honest.

Yes, its good until your mare wants to go early.. She had better not!

Just duct tape her shut

Ive got to do something, Shes dripping now, as of this week end.. Poor girl. her glands are swollen all the way up her belly to her front legs. ICE, RAIN and Show coming her way, Guess, she is headed up to the barn tonight. I like to leave them out so they can move around. The ole tail bone is really showing now. Dangit. Dangit! She had better hold out! Just 16 days! Crossing my fingers! BIG TIME!

Tell her to hang on. It's not much longer.

I hope it doesn't come early. If it does, do you register is as a December baby, or hide it for a few days. It's not like you were breeding for a ber baby. Poor sucker'd be a yearling at 2 weeks old.

Oh, I know, and with the Kentucky Program, they have to be vet inspected.. Well the dripping milk has stopped. I just need a BIG CORK.. Anyone know where I can purchase frozen Colostrum?????

I have frozen colostrum, sheep and equine lol. But its from my own animals. However I do believe you can get it from a site called "Cyber Foal". I'd say google it and you should find it, if not I will try to dig it up for you.

Has she really lost that much colostrum? It may be worth having on hand just in case, however I would certainly test her colostrum when the baby arrives Come on mare, HOLD IT IN!

I have my own IGg tests, Always test. ALWAYS.. Last two years she has had such big bags, and loses colostrum in labor, The foals are not totally without but just boarderline so that foals get plasma. Expensive.. So I thought with the way she has been acting. Im getting a jump on things. The milk has stopped dripping as of yesterday morning.. and her nipples are not full.. So now I am hopeful...

Duck tape shut, tie tail down, cross legs....mmhmm - should be good - and tell the little bugger in there it wants to hang out a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sayin some prayers for ya!!!

Thanks! She seems to be in less of a hurry. No milk dripping for a few days now. Nipples arent full now. And I only have 11 more days to go! Whew..

This morning the the barn was a new Palomino Colt just laying there. What can I say, He is fine, hes down on his pastures, a bit knee knocked, but up and nursing. He will get his vet check on monday. Mom is fine as well. We have good golden poop, he is peeing. And nursing up a storm. Soooo The duck tape didnt work. He has a star, snip and strip. Walks right uo to you and follows you around. 9 degrees tonight wtih 25 m, winds blowing. Maybe Ill call him Chiller! She had to have him on the coldest day of the year. Our barn is tight, the water buckets are even freezing. Baby Blanket is washed, and in the dryner, SO we will go out later for the Iodine, and blanket to be put on.

I know the leg issues will go away, as he is a premi. He will get stronger and stand up. Im just glad to see him, keeping his body temp and nursing. Gave mom some Bute, shes still drawn up a bit. Cameras at work, so will have to wait for that. He has a big dish to his face. And its short. Hes a Wooly thing! [u]

congrats on a healthy little golden guy! oh well that is just the way the ball bounces with the Jan. babies just think he is one of the youngest yearlings out there on the 1st and probably one of the prettiest. Tonight we are expecting a low of 3 degrees with wind chills we can't even mention YUCK... Im just not buying into the concept of GLOBAL WARMING anymore... BURR it usually isn't this cold this early

Congrats on the little dude

Darn mare. They always mess you up when you least need it.
Well, glad he is healthy though. Congrats on your pali colt.

Congrats! Can't wait to see pictures

I am sorry to hear though that he will be considered 1 year old in about 9 days. Makes it a hard time showing...

Regardless, I am sure you are happy he arrived safe and sound, as are the rest of us!

Sh!t happens, what do you do. Congrats on that healthy boy! And your so honest, so many others would of changed his birth date. Cant wait to see pictures of that yeller boy. He just had to sneak out anyway. He's healthy thats the important thing
