Re: [RC] ultra sound - heidiA vet once told me that my mare was not in foal when she should have been 30 days along. We took her back and bred her again. The mare had a foal EXACTLY 11 months from her FIRST due date. If she had not been in foal the first time we checked, that baby would have been a full month premature, and he was way too developed for that... The vet still insists that she was right and the mare was open when we checked the first time and that the baby just came early and was big.... I'm not so sure, but oh well! 30-day pregnancies are hard to miss. Don't forget that normal gestation CAN be as short as 10 months--and if the baby is "programmed" to only take that long, he will be completely developed and normal-sized. I wouldn't bet either way on that one...
