    Ovulation picture

    Every year I notice a lot of people posting threads asking "is this an ovulation?". Many first time breeders mistake "building" for an ovulation.

    I had my first ovulation of the year over the weekend and this is a great example...

    It is also very typical to have a tucked tail. IMO its quite different from a large meal.

    This is something I needed to help me understand. I've seen lots of pictures, but I don't remember one so clearly showing not only the lump but the tucked tail.

    Re: Ovulation picture

    I'm not a pro but my girl is definitely glowing and looks to be larger and when I attempt to palpate I feel bumps and she hasn't eaten in a while so I'd say it's looking good right now Sorry about the poor quality photos taken with my iPad lol

    Dave,

    How long does this stage last? I hear a lot of people "missed" the ovulation.

    Also, what is happening internally at this point? Is this the moment that the follicles and sperm meet for fertilization?

    I have never gotten the "inside scoop", and I think that would make it easier for me to understand how the process works instead of just assuming the stork drops them off.
