Boers have hairy udders, but hers is especially fuzzy. I can't wait to see what she has!

Side question...Roll farms said:
So how do you tell the difference between dalmation, spotted, dappled and ticked? They all kinda look the same to me.

I dunno about the dalmation...or ticked....never seen that used in ref. to boer color.
Dappled is irregular shaped patches of color (sort of like a brindle)...spots are round...moonspots are a lighter spot on a dark background.
Then there's leopard spots...which are sort of hard (for me) to tell from dapples when they're young. I'm still not sure how Freeney's going to turn out, he was moon spotted and dappled at birth, but that's disappearing as he ages...he will probably end up 'just' dappled. He's the kid in my avi pic.

Talk about breath taking! There's no way you're going to get traditional colored kids from that breeding. Mother Nature wouldn't do that to you!

To make it more interesting....I have tickets to see Trace Adkins 2.5 hrs away on the 24th. Most of my boer does go late on or the day after their due dates.
I really wrestled w/ what to do...cancel going...induce her labor 1 day early...take my chances....
Hey, you'll be coming to our fair if you go to the concert! He is playing in Valpo on the 24th. We don't have tickets though (too bad-we saw brad Paisley there a few years ago and it was awesome).
Can you really induce labor? I think I'd want to be there for the babies, just in case there was any trouble but if she has lidded before without problems, I'd go to the concert and see if you can just get a friend or neighbor to check in on her for you.
