>>>> Oh yes, lots of yipping. It's been my experience that the yipping is mostly the pups though.
Oh great. I'd bet that's where they are living then, down in the woods near the pond where I heard that this week. The closest pasture to that area is the one where I normally let the little foals live. What bothers me a little is that pasture is about 1/2 fenced with the horse wire, and the rest with board fence. It's the safest fencing I can imagine for newborns. The horse wire does a reasonable job of keeping critters out, but if they goof up and get inside, they can feel trapped for a while like this coyote did while Maja and Flekka were chasing him. Something to think about, between now and spring: do I let the newborns stay there, trusting their moms? If so, do we finish putting horse wire around the rest of the pasture - great, after we just spent so much on hay? Or, do I try to find another area for the newborns to live in, one that's more open around it? I have to worry about fescue grass with the late-term moms, so I can't put them just anywhere, in any pasture. It's always something...
