Since we never had Moo pee on a stick, we were pretty sure but not 100% that the AI "took". Well last night we found out 100% - that girl is definitely preggers! Moo is completely freaked at the horses in the pasture and is now freaking out because there's something moving inside her. Last night she met Ed at the fence when he arrived home, as usual, for some petting and he called me over because he could clearly see movement and swooshing all along her belly, plus her bag is filling. We moved her into the barn, evicting the horses for the evening. This morning I blocked the driveway and pulled out into the house area so I could check her a little better and press my hands into her. My pressure was answered with very firm kicks!

Since we're at eight horses right now with only two pastures we've decided to just keep the driveway blocked and allow her to be alone without getting continually spooked by the horses. I think we'll just open the yellow barn, move the boat out, and let her have that for her home until we get a shelter put up for her in the pond pasture.

So, hopefully in a few weeks we'll have a birth announcement!

I just love when spring brings all sorts of babies to our farms! Can't wait to see pictures of all yours.

Oh, pictures would be wonderful!

Just found your blog this morning and am very much enjoying it. My grandfather used to do AI breeding of dairy cows here in our neck of the woods. Sure helps you improve genetics are reduce injury!
