Scary Times

I have used beet shreds for a stretcher before. My horses love the stuff! I don't think yaupon holly grows in Montanna, but it is all over east Texas. It stays green all winter and my horses love that too!

If it were bigger animals no way would I pay that much. This is a timmy/meadow mix for the rabbits only, too good for bigger stuff. If I have any left over, it's yours for the taking. Might only be six bales or so, but I figure every little bit helps and that's why I bought extra. I'm hoping to get in early on some Potomac valley timmy this year for them.

It's been okay down in the valley. Got down to right around zero or less a few nights ago and our furnace ran nonstop to keep up. That sort of cold is scary for any length of time. Dumped about a foot of snow on us a couple days ago, but today it's starting to melt. I don't know about you, but this gal's ready for SPRING!

Thanks for your generous offer! 6 bales would be almost 2 weeks for the critters.

We usually get the below zero cold right before Christmas. This year it came late. Spring=torrential rains and eventually fire season. The cold snap is a pain for watering and caring for the critters, but I think I can handle that better than the fires and heat of summer. We usually don't hear about hay until July. But I might be able to score some early, you never know.

Lost a gander to cold, I think. The horses are fine and the goats are fine, but this winter is hard on the fowl.

My area I am paying $15 a square bale for coastal hay and $14 for alfalfa bale.
My goats will not eat alfalfa in pellet form nor the beet stuff. I have been averaging a bale a week of coastal and alfalfa.
Been tossing browse in the pen too.
