Sorry about the miscalculation on the foal date Chanda.  Somehow I got it into my head that there was a chance Baybe got caught in June.  Silly me!

Here's a question for you.  If three new foals might be coming in,will anyone have to go out?  If so, who might it be? Or are you one of those lucky folks who can hang on to everyone if just the right home doesn't come along?

We raise cattle, so have space and hay, so much to hubby's chagrin, I don't have to sell anybody.   Although, this year has been a challenge due to last year's drought and crappy hay, I've had to supplement more than usual, and I still haven't quite found the right combination of feeds that work to keep everyone at a good weight.
Spotty is for sale, should the right home come along.

Ok, revisiting Maybe Baby for Baybe, version 2019...

It's just coming up on February in Montana, and Baybe is shedding more than anyone else; I usually only see this early of shedding in pregnant mares; but anything is possible with my luck.
I never did get around to trying hand breeding last summer, as the drought had me put everything on hold.
We'd still like a buckskin colt, if we are to make wishes; but alive and healthy is always good.
No udder development to speak of.   and, the string test swings back and forth.   ;)

I usually don't see much until into March, and usually not until after the first day of spring; so first week of February is early.

It is early. It's been a warm winter for us here
Were you affected by the freezing weather last week?

No, we have it this week.  20 below today plus whatever windchill makes it.   Cold, darn cold.

These temps are fairly normal during this time of year, what makes it so hard is the warmer temps leading up to it, it was 30 above on Saturday.

Balding...  she rubs bald patches in several areas.  Still too soon for clipping.
Nothing new on the maybe baby.
