I just wanted to take a moment to fill yall in on something new that's been going on around here lately. This breeding season looked a little different..but in an exciting new way!
We have a large amount of mares that are consistently being checked throughout the year for impending ovulation and pregnancy. It's been a goal of ours to eventually be able to do some of this on our own, not only because it's an interest of ours but it's also more cost effective in the long run when we are able to do the small stuff ourselves.
I've spent hours upon hours researching and studying (hello brain cells that have been asleep since college) Springtime rolled around and we were able to purchase our very first ultrasound machine. To say it's been a learning curve would be an understatement. I'm so thankful for our friend, Dr. Samantha Canup, for taking extra time during exams this year to help me get a better understanding of it all. I am definitely figuring out that it truly takes time to learn -- I'm also hopeful that I'll be able to attend an equine reproductive class out in Texas at some point too.
Anyways, I just wanted to share that with yall as it's not only a cool step for our operation, but it's something I've thoroughly enjoyed.
