My mare is day 294 and bagged up pretty good. Last year she apparently went early and foal only survived 28 days. I hear that once a mare delivers past day 300 that is isnt considered premie. Im crossing my fingers this little guy stays put for at least 26 days. Vets say just to hang tough as they t...

We have people walking the 3 km block from the trailer park past my and my neighbours farm. Part of the reason i posted the part about the neighbours walking by comes down to what hap...
