Default Costs of folaing down mares
Just wanted others opinions on the pricing of agistment centers around the place on mares in foal and foaling down at the centre.
Prices I see are all different but I am seeing a $350 price average for the foaling process and the agistment after stayng the same.Approx $50pw on hay.
Anybody got a few price differences for foaling down??

Most places I have seen are between $300 and $400 foaling down fee and then agistment on top.

It is going to cost me next year $400 to put a fence around one of my pine railed paddocks to make it into a foaling paddock. I hate to think about all the other costs I am going to have so $350 sounds cheap!

Vet here quoted $300 to foal down, then $10 per day, plus more if there are complications and blood tests, plasma, etc.

Default Much appreciated
Thanks for that info.I am taking on 2 mares this season on my farm for foaling down.Theres one thing breeding your own then theres humans that will be upset obviousley if something goes wrong but then theres the fact sadly that yes things go wrong somtimes.
The blaming the agistment/stud owner has put alot of people I have been talking to off this as they have got burnt when something has gone wrong.
I will give it a go and see how we go!!
