now i'm second guessing all my mares. I mean, I know I was there when they were bred and wrote down each time and we had them vet checked twice - once to make sure they were in foal and then a few months later to get a better idea of how far along they were and everything matched up. But Peanut ....
Next year I'm just going to subtract two weeks from when she was bred and go from there. Two years ago she foaled on April 16 and had twins and was two weeks early - we jsut figured it was because of twins. According to our vet a foal won't survive (usually, i might add) if they are born more than 12 days early. Whether there is any truth to that I don't know, i've never looked it up. And last year she had her foal May 20 when I figured her due around the first of June. none of my other mares give me this problem. They are right on schedule - only now .. are they??
by the way, I love the little goat in your sig. We had two pigmy's until a nieghbor accidently let his hunting dog out (he was a little drunk at the time and forgot to latch the pen) and now we're down to one.
