Again Penny's milk has fluctuated. On Saturday she showed 125ppm and then yesterday she showed between that and 100ppm. I haven't tested her yet today, I am trying to wait until the early evening and get some consistency with the times.

Lily tested 150ppm yesterday evening so we think she should be foaling within the week. We also had a discussion about paddock arrangements today and have decided to rest the big field until winter time, so that they will have lots of grass over the winter. So they will move into a paddock which is half hedge and half electric fencing. I was always worried about electric fencing and foals, but I think as it is double taped it should be fine. It may even work out better as they will not be inclined to scratch against the fence which is when they inevitably stick their feet through them and end up with all sorts of problems! So Lily and Penny will have to alternate grazing until Penny has her foal and can go out with her. Hopefully that won't be for much more than a week. Fingers crossed that both foals are born alive and well!

Both girls looked very content grazing this morning when I chacked them. Penny's bag (udder) has swelled again and has some wax.
