Chablis and Rosie

Rosie: Bag about the same from this morning. Colostrum very easy to express. pH 8.4

Chablis: Slight increase to her bag. No colostrum but I expect it to come in tomorrow.

Yay!! How exciting for you!!!!! won't be long!!!

Well, hopefully they both wait until Jan. 1st! Normally I'm chompin' at the bit to see these babies but they have to wait so they aren't yearlings on Jan 1st! That would not be cool. In March/April, our bred mares all went to 345-355 days. I thought I was going to die from lack of sleep.

lalalala I can't hear you!

I badly want to import a shetland, I think they are stunning animals! But probably 3 to 5 years off being able to do that! I'll just have to spy on yours and wait for those beautiful foals instead

I'll be watching and hopeing with you they wait til the First.. Why does the camersa on Chablis flicker? Does everyone see this or is it just me? Or is it just a nervous camera that likes to jiggle :rofl :rofl or maybe it's had too much coffee trying to stay awake :rofl :rofl

I'm not sure why Chablis' camera flickers. I think it flickers more when we are using appliances in the house (currently, washer, dryer, dish washing machine, and oven are all in use). I've tried to adjust it but nothing seems to work. I was hopeing to turn them out today but it is slick as cat snot out there.

It is certainly a regular rhymetical (sp?) beat that you have going on there LOL!!

If it is still going on when Chablis foals, I think you might just have to include something to do with music into the foal's name!

:rofl That would be a good one Anna. Let's see if we can figure out a song name for Chablis. the flickers would be good set to music. Maybe turn on the stereo with the other appliances

Oh no ladies! We have to figure out a name that goes with wine (or any adult beverage) and happy or hooligan. I already have Happy Hour down for spectacular colt/stallion prospect. But I'm holding out for a filly.

How about sparkling wine?

Sparkle for the barn name

OOhh, sparkling wine is nice. Will have to see if it fits. Save that one possibly for a pinto filly.

Chardonnay, Clairette, Cointreau, Pinot Noir, Martini, Southern Comfort, Bootlegger

I think I'll stop there

I was going to suggest Rhythm and Booze .....oooop's I mean Blues!!

Happy jingle juice aka jingle

How a about h happy merlot?

Oh wow! Great ideas everyone! I just remembered one. My dad used to make homemade wine and his "label" was Chateau Bubba God forbid, if I get a colt from Chablis....I might just have to name him that!

Update:

Rosie: This evening has medium firm bag that is easily expressed. pH 8.4 319 days

Chablis: Has a very small bag that's firm. Was able to express a droplet of colostrum with some work. 323 days.

 

Now, get to work on names for Rosie's baby (which looks like will arrive before Chablis!). Country Star Rosie Flores x Happy Hooligan.......

Let's try Star Counrty Hooligan

Or Happy Country Star

a Country Rose?

Rosie's happy Hooligan,

Star of the Country?

country star....

just some suggestions lol

YAY for progress!! CONGRATS!

Great name suggestions!! I will have to come back and read through them when the babies arrive.

Same old story on Rosie. pH 8.4, Calcium 200, smallish bag

Chablis finally had enough colostrum to test. pH 8.4, Calcium 200, small bag.

They are going to have to get a move on if they want New Year's babies.
