I would really like to see a pic of the Vanner cross when you have time, please.

I like that mustang, pretty color. All of your animals are beautiful.

As I may of said before, Cassie the Vanner mix came from an abusive situation and is fearful of any new sound or situation so I don't take pictures or video of her as she gets very unsettled as you point things at her. When I first got her she had obviously been beaten with a 2x4 and who knows what else. She has greatly improved over the years but I don't think she will ever be "normal" again.

Ah, poor Cassie! I'm so glad she's in a home that she doesn't have to deal with that anymore!

My llama, Jerry, was the same way...dang woman's husband chased and hit them with a heavy branch or shovel handle. He still doesn't entirely trust my DH or any other male that comes around but he's coming around to me quite a bit (we've had him a year now).

 

[77Herford]

Yeah, what gets me is this guy still has horses....
Cassie has been with us for two years now and will come up to me and the wife but she can spook easily and really doesn't like surprises. I have plastic bags tied to the fence line so the horses get used to the sound as even with trail riding now you can't get away from trash. I learned this technique from my friends but it has served me very well, especially on riding on gravel roads.

Cowardly people trying to "break" a horses spirit so they can lord over it. The quick and easy way. No wonder she will never be "normal" again. So glad to hear you and your wife have made progress with this innocent. Wishing you luck with.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Nice looking herd.

Well I got just over 4000 bushels of Oats this season. My bin is nearly full. Don't think I'll be doing Oats again, just not as good of a yield in this part of the state.

 

[77Herford]

Yay, up a almost 3am...................

Lets see whats on the tube...oooo Dressage Symposium...kill me now.

 

[77Herford]

Thank you Biography channel for saving my boredom.

Lets see when the Sun rises. I will get some freshly made donuts cause I'm in the mood and willing to drive 20 minutes to get them. Visit an old friend I rarely see as he works the graveyard shift and I obviously don't. Then back to work.

Adding to my herd just have not decided yet what breed or if I'll just go commercial, which means in cattle biz "Mutt".
Also hope to have my own milk by next spring as I am a bit impatient. Buying 10 Nubian does and a mixed group of 6 others and 2 Jersey Cows simply because I always wanted one and have the income to do it so why the bleep not. "Thats what I'll say to my father who will be disgusted with my descision, lol." He's living through me as a farmer.
I think one Jersey may be a Staven, .
