Try OutsidePride.com...........a seed company with a lot of info & contacts. May help clear your jumble a little about what kind. Try Agricultural depts of local/regional colleges/universities. Sometimes local equine vets have literature for you. Often fertilizer depends of not only soil...

I read about it, researched, etc........because a hay man was growing it across the street from me and I try to get some local hay. In my part of the country we are subject to sporadic showers (heat & only 50 miles from ocean) and fairly high humidity quite often. So you have to use a hay...

OK, now I get the name. Geesh, I love my barracudas AND I got a set of replacement blades when i ordered the nippers, to have on hand. Little did I know they were going down this road, LOL -- but, my original ones are still strong/ Plus, a friend got a set & extra set of blades but she...

OHMT & Mona & Little Ribbie, yes, I agree with all!!! I really hate them sitting in jail and spending my money -- sooner for death. Flying Minis, I'm sorry about your mom and truly understand as my own mother is now living with me with the Big A (1 yr) and I have a person I often do not know...

I have mostly no climb but, wasn't always like that and I also use hot wire along that fence to keep butts off! When I use a temporary area, that is hot wire only. As others have said, each has it's pro/con issues. If I am putting it up for a few yr effort, then I like to use wire on one or...

If any live in an area that grows P-nuts (I do) you can rest assured that they LOVE those. There is a sheller facility near me and yrs back we used to drive a dump truck over and they let us put it under the chute that blew out the shells. When full (1 day or 2) we'd go get them and dump into...

Could we pre-vote with "I don't like either one" .......... and get a new slate ? ! ? It's sad, really. We are simply able to vote for the lesser of two evils -- The "situation" in which we Americans find ourselves is truly the result of many, many people and not JUST the president and...

What wonderful memories!! Thanks for sharing. WOW thos grandkids are sure growing up! Seems like yesterday when.....well, you know, LOL, we are aging. Wish my kids and grandaughter were interested in the horses..... .....makes it worth while to keep doing, in some ways. Alas, mine just...

I truly feel we need some type of medical "plan" in this country and, like many, have no specificas as to how to pay for it, etc. But it is already being done -- to some extent -- with Medicare & Medicaid. With so much in place with those systems I feel we "might" be able to...

I would require them to buy insurance, payable to you, in case of death........may want to require med insurance, also, just to insure vet care if there is any doubt. If any injury, contact vet as well as you.

I pass this as a friend sent it to me ---- many of us can relate. Tale Of Two Doctors - Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require hip surgery. The FIRST patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the...

www.noble.org/ag/pasture Didn't see Dallisgrass on here BUT...there are some good charts & info for several types of hay that show palatability, seasonal issues, facts regarding pastures (care/growth/seasons/haying, etc) from which many of us could get good info. Well, I did anyway. My own...

I, too, have several oldies.......the humidity here is about 77 now with temps 96-102 (add "feel like" to that). When I go out and come in, it's straight to the shower! LOL. But, if there is a breeze, the animals seem fine. They sweat some but not excessively, they use the shade trees and...

I love it! Bunny confidence..... Last Spring a pair of barn swallows felt they would make their mud nest under my front porch. One of the cats spotted the action and laid on the railing, flicking her tail (& licking her lips!) in anticipation of a tasty morsel. This continued a couple...

I feel you NEED to send a letter and advise her...........send it certified, return receipt! I'd even ask her to pay for the last RX's and reimburse any out of pocket on the ER's, etc. Too many people do NOT report such things and doctors are people, too. They get too busy and hurried and...

"Dangerous" dogs and "attractive nuisance" animals (horses, especially) have been an insurance consideration for many years. There was a time when Shepherds were not on the list but, noticed several yrs back that changed. While ALL dogs can bite and horses can definately kick, bite, etc...

I would hand walk and trot him 3-4 times a week for a while, in addition to the daily turn out and food control. This method would be a way to also work with his ground manners, roadside &/or new encounter manners, etc. Not saying he is/has an issue with any of these ONLY that the gentle...

Possibly someone from your area is going to Congress and could have room to carry a additional one home?

Some amount of size can be contributed to how many foals they have had previously. Also, the size of the mini mare as the smaller ones do tend to show somewhat sooner/more than the larger mares (i.e. small A or larger B). Hey, where else can the foal go but down in this little ones !? Oh...

For anyone interested/considering this fodder thing... Received an email from Farm Tek about a $100 all day experience touring their facility and seeing a hands on, etc., etc. OK, I'm not going to IA for this BUT, looking further down the page I see that they offer a 1/2 hr web seminar on...
