I echo that. I love the foals, but it must be a stressful time for all you breeders.

Good luck Julie and all the Nipna girls xx

I have Belle (a maiden) due today but she doesn't look ready yet. She only has a small udder, her hindquarters are still firm and her girly bits haven't slackened/elongated at all. I'm just doing 2-hourly checks on her at the moment.

Then 2 experienced older girls due in early May. They are both infoal to King.
Breanna (a maiden) infoal to Wilf, due late May.
Gem infoal to Wilf for a late(ish) baby in mid-July.

I'm excited to meet the new little ones but feeling nervous at the same time!

Lots of good wishes from me.
I'm afraid it's not easy here at the moment Im hoping things improve.

Good luck to everyone involved with foaling mares. Stressful times all round.

No foals this year but I have 6 Dexters due to calve. The first cow (fifth calver) was very quiet without any noise so I was totally unaware until the next morning - big bouncing bull calf - so I was delighted. I always check them last thing at night, and generally listen out for lowings in the night a couple of times (as they are all housed quite close by at the moment), but no-one else looks imminent as yet.
