On a lighter note

If i have my dates right, this girl is not due for another 22 days.
She is my biggest girl by far, weighing in at over 4300 grams before the breeding season, and i think pushing close to 7ft.
I think she will burst before her due date at the rate she is going!! She is either going to have a lot of babies, or very heavy ones.....

The pictures were taken last week, and you can see, especially from the picture over the waterbowl, exactly where the babies are sitting.
I believe she is an 03 animal, and i purchased her and her sister in 2007. I wasnt so good at keeping records back then, but i believe they were well over 3000grams. Her sister, has been on a fast lately and her weight is at 3300grams and did not take this year.
As far as i am aware, this is my large girls first litter.
Here is some pics i found of her on the computer. Im 90% sure these are all off here, but are a few years old.
I do know that that bed is 200cm across
I really need to work out a better system, of filing all my pics on photobucket!!!
yes dave, im planning on using the same kind of excel sheet you do, with all the IMG tags, listed to the animals. But its just going to take a while to file away, the 5000 pics already on the account.... Especially when i dont always know who is who...

Yeah she a big girl, i will get some post litter weight once she drops.
All the 3yr girls, that i bought as babies, are in the rough same weight group that you are talking about with yours.
My big girl, will probably be bred to my anery male next year, if she recovers ok from this litter. And will be hoping for a big litter!!!!

1700 to 1800 for almost three year olds is perfect. If they eat well and grow a bit over the next few months they could be ready to breed this winter.
