Hey! Soleil (the foal) is getting darker. She and Sugar prance around the pasture and kick out their legs. It is so sweet to watch them!

Ok I know that in Alfalfa Hay you can get Blister Beetles in it but what about Alfalfa Pellets?

 

[heartsizedfarm]

Surely not. Or blister beetles would be so pulverized and dehydrated that they would be less toxic?

Actually, it's what's inside the beetle that is the problem, not the outside of the beetle. I've heard that the more processed the product, the more toxin (provided the beetles are there in the first place). A number of years ago, a friend of mine lost half of her rabbit herd practically overnight, and the suspicion was blister beetles in the rabbit feed (which was alfalfa based).

I reported the owner of the horses to the deputy sheriff. He just stopped by to look at them, but he has to go out on a call (small town, middle of nowhere; short-staffed right now). He'll be back tomorrow to take pictures.

As soon as he left the owner came over to let them out into our "parking" area behind the house where there's a bunch of taller grass. Small town, someone told him the cops were looking at his horses.
