Thanks everyone...and I must admit that foal is ADORABLE!!!

I have a question...how does their weight look to you guys? They have gained weight since I posted this pic and their bellies seem HUGE. They look like they are going to POP!

They are eating pretty much free choice hay since there is barely any grass left, and have salt and minerals.

They also sneak sweet feed from the horse! Oh and I also just wormed them on Sunday with the labeld dose of Valbazen (I weighed them and gave 1cc/25lbs bw).
Matilda (red one) weighs 46, and Clemmy (the paint) weighs 84!!!!

I hope they are not preggo!!! LOL They are this years babies and the buck was out with the open does so I don't think he was ever in with them. They were with a bunch of does (some pregnant) and some nursing, also recently weaned babies, and one HUGE whether.

I am gonna be in HUGE trouble if they ate pregnant!

You wormed them with Valbazen so if they were pregnant, they aren't anymore.

Boers can get fat really easily if they are not breeding or raising babies. I have two that ALWAYS look ready to pop. All I can suggest is keep them out of the sweet feed.

Jodie's right with the valbazen - that's an automatic abortion if they were pregnant.

Glad to hear they are doing well, though!
