Hello Ed:

Thanks for the response. I am really anxious to see the stripe development. You were the one that diagnosed the mother to be pregnant so thanks for that also. I watched the timing well as I have been told that it would be about 140 to 150 days after the shed. It was exactly 123 days. Much to my suprise.
Thanks very much for your help. And, congratulations on the birth of those 12 beauties. Unbelieveable.
