Just wanted to check in.......
« on: March 30, 2011, 12:36:24 PM »
.....and let everyone know I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I know ya guys miss my crude humor. hehehehe! SIKE!

Been pacin' the floor since Friday expectin' a new mule. Damn horse is worse than "Toots" was with her first one!

Pretty much have to check her every 2 hours, just in case she has any problems. If it doesn't happen without complications, ya have to have the Vet there within' 2 hours or ya can lose both the mule and momma!

I'll keep ya updated on this thread.

So far I'm leanin' toward false labor this time, but she's due any time! I'll post pics if the miracle happens anytime soon!

Whoa, Nelly!

I had to read up on mules a little bit -- the horse/mule combo thing threw me for a bit of a loop.

Good luck with the birthing, Allo!

Well, she's layin' down again! She seems to be havin' contractions, but she isn't dilated much at all.

She's gonna be like "Toots"! Days and days for the first one! Gonna drive me nutz!

I don't think I've had 6 hours sleep in three days! Bitch!

I'm hopin' she can do it by herself! I had one I had to hook a come-a-long to! Not exactly in my job description!

Kinda depends on who Daddy is. This one is a Mammoth Jack, so I'm pretty worried!

I'll post a pic of Mommy and Daddy when I get a chance.

AR, when was your last Scotch?  You sound like you could use one--and this is coming from a recovering alcoholic. :o

Had the Vet out this mornin', baby is still not in the birth canal. The Vet tells me to just have patience!

Patience my ass! He hasn't been spendin' every night, goin' out to check her every 2 hours!

Apparently they can induce labor, but it's not a good idea. Never had one take this long before. The Vet's not even sure if it will be in the next week! Nuttin' quite like watchin' a guy go up to his elbow in your horse!

Problem is, I can't afford to take any chances. If it's male of the species, he's worth a few grand!

Can't "Toots" monitor things for awhile while you get some sleep?

Somebody has to work for a livin'. Besides, she pretty much has decided it's my problem. She heads to work around 4:30 and gets home around 3:00. If she doesn't get her rest, I'd have to move in with the animals! It's still pretty damn cold at night and I'm not as young as I used to be!

Still no mule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear to Dog, she's ****in' with me. Owner won't let me shoot her! Damn it! I think she just wants us to go broke feedin' her grain until the "blessed event"!
"!

Sorry I haven't updated, but this time of year is pretty hectic. Besides plowin', discin", and drillin', the east 29, tryin' to drain the lakes that accumulated over the winter, and havin' Mule watch, I'm busier than a one legged man at a butt kickin' contest!

Oh yeah, my Doc says I have a 10 lb weight limit! snicker! Yeah, right!

Will post pictures of the corpse when I completely lose my mind!

Just kiddin', heh, wink, wink! Y'all will be first to know when I'm a pappy!

It is my displeasure to announce our partner, read BIL, has lost a donkey and a foal. I disagreed with this pairing in the first place, since it was a horse breeding a much smaller donkey. Let's  face it, it would be like a German Shepard humpin' a Chihuahua! Just not a good idea.

He probably could have saved them, but was not dilligent in his observations. Now you know why I check mine every 2 hours!

It looked like mama hemorrhaged and baby couldn't quite get out of the sack and suffocated. Damn it!

BIL is not exactly my choice for a partner! He has some nice mules, but hell, they can't breed! Maybe now he'll invest in a Mammoth Jack like we did! Would be nice to have Jenny. I'm absolutely sure he could come up with the 8 grand +, as he's an heir to the salad dressing fortune! Cheapskate! At least he brought his pregnant mare to me. Don't know why he didn't bring the donkey to me. I think I'm the only one on duty 24/7.

I have brought up the subject of wireless cameras a few times, but these guys are pretty old school, and it's hard to convince them that technology would give us all a break. Even told them I could funnel it to their I-Pads! No luck! Yet.

Unfortunately, it happens. I've seen them have to use a come-a-long with donkey/horse breeding's. Not a pretty site!

That's why I'm against that pairing. It's just too hard on mama!

As a side note, my steers weighed 597 and 660 dressed, they were 1015 and 987 on the hoof! Damn, I missed it by a hundred pounds to the light side! I figured 'em to be around 500 dressed!

Well, anyone who can get here by Saturday, the steak's are on me! hehehehehe!!!
