Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[FrenchToast]

Evening All,
FT - YAH!!!

Sorry to hear about losses, and lack of being able to till your gardens, And hoping all the various critters stay well OR don't die!

I went to feed the horses and spotted this and whirled around and honked the horn, calling to DH "hey come here and put your shoes on!"
I drove about half a mile away and showed him what I saw..
And then took pics.





These are the natural colors.. BUT WOW!!!

WOW is right !!!! Nice job on taking the pictures too !!!

As far as the horse goes. I'm sure there will be more chapters to As the Stable Turns.
The owner of the stable that has the horse hasn't heard from the authorities. But the horse is still the property of the owne until the court decides.
Supposedly there will be charges filed AND the owner will be billed for the board and any expenses pertaining to the horse.
He is in very good hands right now. When I went to see him today he was pawing at the fence. They had a pony next to him and he wanted in to see him. Poor poor horse, who knows how long it's been since he saw another horse.
She said when they brought him to the stable he drank and drank and drank. She said he looks better today then even just yesterday. I think he was is more dehydrated then underfed (but he is definately at least 300+ lbs underweight) They said he looks like he could be in his 20's. He had tons of energy today.
He has a very pretty trot. He was running up and down the fence and sure seemed happy.
I love him already.

Andersons' Home for horses

We are a horse rescue farm. We have many horses that need safe loving homes to go to. Some of our horses are young and in need of training. Some have been mistreated. We do not sell these horses. The horses are free. We will accept hay or grain to help continue our work, and volunteers are welcome. If you would like to set up an appointment to view the horses please send me an email. Please share this posting so we can find more homes for more of these beautiful animals.

[Cindlady]

Very cool! Hope you can get here again sometime! This last year was real mild. You should have been her the year before!

Checkback again when you can!

Beautiful Cool Morning Good People!

flewdacoop Now you know why we live here. Come and visit anytime! Think TO fell asleep with her finger on the submit button.

CC was wondering where you've been? Carol didn't realize that people have to wear shoes to view a sunset.

Think you ought to submit that somewhere! Second batch of Flycatchers has flown the nest.

bigz talked to the BFF yesterday we both have heads of dill already. Will keep checking them and get them in the freezer soon. Wish I had your egg problem but glad I don't have your feed bill.

Bob is making progress, he purrs when I lay with him. In my rush yesterday forgot to stop and get the save a calf.

Any sign of Coal yet Amy?

Angie hope you get your problem figured out! Looks like the windows are going to be closed for awhile. Sure love having them open at night and in the morning. Better go let the monsters out. Lots of fluids people! Cind don't scare her like that!

we are planning on going again to stay with some friends, but i want to go durring winter can you give many any pointers on driving in the snow because we have no snow here like yall do. and should i drive my wifes pontiac vibe or my 4x4 s-10 blazer vibe gets 32 miles per gallon and has trac control but is two wheel drive, but the blazer has atomatic 4x4 push button and gets about 19 miles to the gallon???????

Flewdacoop, the secret to driving in the snow: S-L-O-W. You can drive either vehicle and be just fine, neither will do you any good on ice, and black ice is the biggest worry (looks like the road is wet when it is really covered in a sheet of ice). Find an empty parking lot and practice doing doughnuts....

Beautiful sunset pics, I wonder if the smoke from the wildfires is 'helping' with the colors.....

Doc, glad to hear Bob is doing much better. Just keep giving him moist food so that when he does have a BM it is a little easier on him.

I would gladly take a horse or two off of their hands.... it sucks living in town.

Ok, off to work I go. Later all!

So I was at F F today and picked up AmproMed for calves (amprolium 20% soluble powder) They now have Poultry amprolium (Corid is amprolium 20%) however they only sell it in a bucket of 20 pkts at $350.00 So I am figuring this is the same thing as the Corid. I jsut need to figure out dosage now. And interestingly enough, reading online and over and over I am reading that you dont have to toss eggs if treating with amprolium. I will have to do more research on this though.

Bigzio thanks for the input on that. I stopped giving the chicks in the coop the medicated feed as I didnt want the hens getting it and passing to the eggs. not so smart of a move now huh?

Morning Angie

just my 2 cents here. Been reading Harvey Ussery's new book (he has articles in just about EVERY Backyard Poultry issue) and he has a whole section about this whole issue. He decidedly does nothing. Never has. True, he is a totally organic farmer/gardener but been at it for a whole bunch of years and never had a problem. Might want to see if you can get hold of his book. Even for the much more experienced than myself I think it would be a good read. Not cheap retail (39.95) but can be found much cheaper on line.

Chickenscratch....if someone were wanting to poison the coon, they might put mouse or rat poison in marshmallows....or was told at ace hardware store associate that crystallized fly bait in regular mountain dew works well also....just sying these might be some final options to really get rid of a coon....we have a coon right now and want to get rid of it before there is a real problem. Last year we relocated one about 15-20 miles and it found its way back....so not doing that again....good luck
