Well, luck wasn't with me. Bluebell isn't bred. Darn! I don't know what happened. I had her ultrasounded a month after breeding and she was bred, but I didn't repeat the ultrasound at 45 days to make sure it implanted. I'm almost sure she was bred back in the winter. The vet said she may have re-absorbed it.
Anyways, it's a pain in the butt. I've got to get back with the breeder and start all over again. I had her ultrasounded yesterday to see where she was in her cycle and he said she'd probably ovulate in about 10 days and to take her to the breeder in about 7 days.
I'm not going to breed Truly on her foal heat this time coz I don't want a March foal, the weather's just too unpredictable in March. So I'll probably take her back next month to the same stallion I bred her to last year. Maybe between the two of them I can at least get one foal a year!
I'm so sorry. I guess there is no way of knowing why?

Oh I'm sorry. Sounds like she's okay to breed back though. March here is too early (like Bob listens to me about that!) but we hang heat lamps when we have a baby due then.
Sorry to hear about Bluebell. So disappointing for you. I will not breed Sarah Lee now until she is at my place.
