(Morning Post):

Hey guys,

Today I went outside to let the girls out, and Asia began humming. She is one of our maidens, and she very rarely hums. She is very uncomfortable, and keeps throwing me half worried, half annoyed looks at me. I would say, "Hey! It's not my fault," granted she could understand, but that's out of the question. Even if she could understand me, I doubt very seriously that she would believe me...

She is bred to one of our boys, Chico, and is miserable. I that she was already shorn, but she is more that happy to get hosed down twice a day, and the fans are a bonus, too. She has been in a lot today, but is now grazing. I'm sure she'll soon be in again, cushed in front of a fan, her head either in a water bucket, or munching away happily on some hay. We have (affectionately, of course) nicknamed her "the Mac-truck," because her belly is so large, especially for a maiden.

I hope that she has her baby soon, and that she won't get too stressed (Asia's mother, Allegria, is high-strung, and thus, she is as well). I will keep you guys posted!

Hi again,

Well, she didn't have her baby today, but I've got her and a few others (namely Beauty, who has had three babies, and Sassy, who is a maiden like Asia) on "cria watch." I'll keep you up-to-date.
