Question: Do horse people find out the gender of the horse before birth like we humans do?

Good question. I wouldnt mind knowing that either

Nope. It's always a surprise. All the ultrasounds we've had done have been internal ones very early on in the pregnancy. You see a little lima bean with a beating heart.

Congratulations!!!!! I can't wait to see him. Did Percy say how Danny is doing? Is this her 1st foal?

I've never seen a newborn lima bean. Must be pretty messy getting them ready for canning.

YES some vets are really good and a sonogram over 90 days can tell you...Tidewater gave me a free sonogram one time when they were learning to sex...bugger would not hold still...all we could see was his long rat tail...sometimes it works sometimes it does not...


I always did the string and nail and it was accurate 90% of the time...even with a chick in the egg..





Oh yes and we need to see pics...I bet he is really pretty..

You can get an ultrasound to sex the fetus, but it's expensive and it's really not necessary. Sometimes people will do it if they're going to sell a bred mare or an embryo transfer foal. Most likely these are higher dollar horses and people want to know the sex before they purchase it.

Congrats on the new baby!!!!

HappyAppy your new baby was born at 8:15AM. He was still partially in the sack when I came back to the barn from the schools this morning. Mommy is doing fine. Some issues with nursing, but they worked themselves out. He is latching on and swallowing fine. He has 4 light hoolves with flaxxen legs and a chocolate body. No white. I just emailed you some pics so try to post them. Oh and moms a little crabby but physically fine.

We had some cows ultrasounded (about 15 of them) for sexing the fetuses, and it was way more than that! The guy we used came from the midwest though...he was an ultrasound supa-star! He also did about 100 more animals, heifer and bull yearlings to test for rib-eye area, backfat, and marbling. I remember the sexing was pretty steep though.

Congrats on your baby boy! Now you have a breeding stud for Rockies!!!

i didn't know ya'll cow folks did that! in utero too. wow...

 

[happyappygirl]

WOW Percy you caught him EARLY!! Can you send them to my work email address? Rottncop has my home email open on the home computer, so i can't get them here on the work computer.

i'll be by before class tonight. Name suggestions can start any time now.

We have purchased a buckskin stud colt, but Rottncop is saying he likes this boy better

The only in utero test we did was sexing. All the other stuff was done when they were yearlings.

He does sound beautiful. That is SOOOOO cool that she finally had him. Too bad he isn't colored l ike his father, maybe mare #2 will have one like him. Well maybe that buckskin will get gelded then???
