I didn't want to bother her much as she's having them as I type. Sorry the shot isn't more complete.. more pics of the babies and the count later tomorrow. This would be approx 120 days POS. Now I don't feel so bad that I won't make it to Datona... I am walking on sunshine.
Thanks All-

3 live and 2 unfertile ova. She's a first time girl and was only 6.5 feet and 12 lbs at ovulation so I didn't expect too much out of her. Happy to have anything.

One still and 5 ova that looked good at one time. I'm willing tho bet that they died a month ago. My air conditioner at the store went under last month and needed a new fan. A week of 100 degrees or higher at the shop no doubt caused this mess. Well, it could have been worse. Now that she's had her babies, I can move her to my new facility, I mean bunk house... where this won't be a problem next season.

and that was a month ago. I would have thought that she carried more than that. At least it was not a total loss... but, sad nonetheless...
