Well I am here BUT tired.
Yesterday was 'mixed" The new owner of Beary and Kleansor is very chuffed with them and they loaded beautifully.
Then found Janet aka the Slacker (was 18) 1/2 in the creek DOA evidently she was fine Friday late afternoon. Looked like she fell thru the ice layer ( 2 to 3 inches thick) and then down to the ground which was about 2 feet lower. I suspect that she ended up having a heart attack as the ground was a bit plowed/dug up where she had been trying to get back out. There was NO water where she fell thru. 10 years out there and have NEVER had layers of ice over and empty creek bed. And ALL the adults have been cris-crossing the creek all over and bouncing all around the big pasture.
She is currently down in the burn pit beside old 19 who was her buddy , I think for most of their lives.
